Eating beef ' is less green than driving? 2007-07-19 18:28:00 According to the article that i read, "Producing 2.2lb (1 kilo) of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as driving a car non-stop for three hours, it was claimed yesterday."They have got to be mental!!"Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide.This also consumed 169 megajoules of energy.That means that 2.2lb of beef (1 Kilo) is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours or the amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals' digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported."Who would have thought that cow farts were the main reason for the Greenhouse Effect?? Their answer is for us to stop eati
My Firend...Charles Story. 2007-07-24 05:59:00 We have been friends since the early 1980s.

Rear WIndow Problems 2007-07-23 13:52:00 The right side 1/3 rear window was broken out. I went to A Auto body to have it replaced, thinking that just the little window could be fixed. Boy was i wrong!I found that the window is called Encapsulated Glass. Meaning that the whole window has to be replaced. I went to several other glass companies to see if the little window could be replaced and it could not. I had to file with my insurance as the price for OEM or Aftermarket Glass was very expensive. Therefore, i had to file.I went with A- Auto body as they did a good job for em before. I got all the paperwork set up and placed my truck in the shop. I received a call from the owner saying that Safelite who handles all the glass claims for Nationwide would not allow an OEM piece of glass to be used and that i had to use an aftermarket one. The owner told me that they have had several aftermarket back glass windows not fit correctly. I did not want a leaky truck.There was my dilemma. I went with A Auto body as the are a "Blue Ribbo

This Week.. 2007-07-26 18:08:00 It has been a boring week. We joined a gym and I have ridden 22 miles on the stationary bikes. I was doing the cardio workout program on the bike. I would ride for 30 minutes and try to get 11 miles. That meant less than a 2.5 minute mile and I would get my heart rate to 147 bpm. That was the target. I was able to achieve that. I am also working out for my back to strengthen it up by doing dead lifts. I do 4 sets of 10 at 100 lbs and then 2 sets of 10 at 110 lbs. So I am sore today. I took the night off, but I think that I am going in the morning before I have to sleep to get ready for work for the weekend. Also, my Grandparents and Uncle are coming out here! They start driving on Saturday and will get here on Sunday. I can’t wait to see them!! Well, have a good evening… RMStringer ________________________________ What have I done What lies I have told I've played games with the ones that rescued my soul Oh, have I come

Celebrities??? Role Models??? 2007-07-24 17:45:00 A real world commentary...What is it with our fascination with these people? Why do we follow their lives? What power do they have over us? They do not have any on me! To me, they are just normal people, not to be idolized. Let us look at some of them. Most of them did not finish High School or even have a college degree. Therefore, to say that they are role models is not hitting the mark for our children. Wow, Mom, I want to be like Brittany Aguilera and make it big in the music business; a little girl might say at age 10 or 11 perhaps. What a dream it is, because that is just it, a dream. Most kids grow up to become productive members of society and have a family, job, and home just like their parents do, not some nut job that shows her private parts or strips down to bra and panties to go swimming swarmed by the media.It scares me to think that my daughter once wanted to be like one of them. With role models like Hilton, Spears, Lohan, just to name a few; who needs nightmare Read more:Celebrities
How Stupid Can You Be?? Dumbass Award!!! 2007-07-24 16:04:00 HOW STUPID CAN U BE?? I mean really...Arrested again on Drug and Alcohol possession just 2 weeks after being let out of rehab.She had everything going for her and much like many of her peers, she is going into the shitter very quick!!This is not stuff that i generally get into, but this deserves a post!!The Associated PressSANTA MONICA, Calif. -- The troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan took another dangerous turn early Tuesday when police booked her for drunken driving and cocaine possession after a frightened woman dialed 911 to report being chased by Lohan's SUV. Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunk driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level of between .12 and .13 percent when police found her about 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said.Is she trying to be another Anna Nicole Smith? Does she want to spend the next 3-5 years in jail? I am sure that she will get another slap on the wrist because of her money, but she needs a good Kick In The ASS if you ask me!! She Read more:Stupid

Fitness and Health.. 2007-07-28 21:45:00 As many know, I am on a health kick. I love to ride my Mountain Bike on the trails with and friends. So the other evening, my wife tells me that we/she joined the American Family Fitness Gym here in Richmond. It is a local chain, not to be confused with 24 Hour Fitness in Texas or elsewhere. So we went to the gym on Tuesday evening and looked over the facilities. They are very nice. We go to the Swift Creek facility. They have racket ball, basket ball, free weights, swimming, and an assortment of other activities.I like to think that I am in good shape, so I decided to give the stationary bike a try and I did a cardio program. I entered my age and time that I wanted to ride. I entered 30 minutes and the bike stated I needed to get my hear rate up to 147BPM. Ok, I started the ride and after about 5 minutes, I hit the target. I kept up the pace and was riding at about a 2.5 minuet mile. I got over 11 miles in 30 minutes. I was impressed if I do say so myself. I also did that the nex Read more:Health
Bob Woodward... 2007-07-28 20:32:00 I like to read at least 3-4 books a year. I have read all of Dan Brown's books, Holy Blood Holy Grail, Rule by Secrecy, just to name a few.I am reading the series of by Bob Woodward
and I have started with "Bush At War" and I will go next to "Plan Of Attack: and finally to "State Of Denial" I hope to do this during the next 6-9 months. I love the whole "conspiracy theory" stance and also real world current events type of reading. If you like the current event type of reading, I strongly suggest a book by Robert Baer called See No Evil. It tells about the decline of the CIA over the last 20+ years. It is a very good read. Also watch the movie called Syriana as it was based on the book.Happy Readings...What is your opinion?Subscribe to my Posts...
11 things you may not know about "Star Wars" 2007-07-28 20:11:00 I have not read this book. I have a PDF file that is called The_Secret_History_of_Star_Wars. I have read some of it, but it is over 400+ pages and i have not had the time. At the moment i am reading a book by Bob Woodward - Bush At War.I will tell more about it as i get more into the book. But, back to the title. I found this on a blog that i was reading and i wanted to pass this along to you all.Thanks to Jacoblog for this little rundown on the book.1. In between the second and third drafts, Luke was changed to be a girl. (p. 40)2. Because of its size and proximity to the Tunisia-Libya border, the Sandcrawler set was searched by the Libyan army to make sure it wasn't a secret Tunisian military weapon. (p. 157)3. The R2D2 robot went out of control and wandered into the set of Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth," which was also filming in the Tunisian desert. (p. 159)4. Alec Guinness got mad and almost quit when, midway through production, George Lucas decided that Obi-Wan Kenobi Read more:things
