John Mccains $300 million offer to someone who can produce a more efficient, smaller battery for cars means nothing then I suppose. (Of course it doesn't, he wont be elected.) I would love an electric car..250 miles a charge would get me 2 weeks easy. Chevy is putting out the Volt in 4 years at a cost of $40,000 so the "Tesla costs $100,000!!!" argument is dumb because its not mass produced and its not appealing to anyone other than gear heads and early adopters. The point is, if we intend to be using electric cars in even 10 years, we need to be building power plants in some form NOW instead of saying "No, you cant have a coal power plant because it pollutes too much" "No, you can't have a hydroelectric dam even though its the cleanest source of energy we have because some fish wont be able to migrate up the river anymore to spawn" "No, we dont want a nuclear plant in our backyard" "No, we don't want a windmill farm 25 miles offshore giving us a microscopic view of a windmill from our expensive beach front property and did you know how many birds they kill?" "Oh, but dont forget about solar! Oh wait..half the country cant use solar practically and cost effectively." Maybe the point will be driven home in a few years when there are massive blackouts and electric rates go through the roof. You think the pain at the pump hurts, I cant wait for the pain in the outlet (which sounds a little like pain in the ass..har har)

Thats great if you know a restaurant that uses a lot and is willing to give it to you since they have to pay to have it disposed of..but..if you're buying new oil it costs like $10-15 a gallon from a place like Sams Club. Doesnt sound like a great plan to save money to me. where I work, we dont use the fryer we have that much so we dont change the oil but like once a week and it only holds a 5 gallon container of oil and by the time its used the food soaks up almost a 1/2 gallon probably.

TSM was in a form around 7 years ago (Rantsylvania/Smarks)..I think it'll be around in 3. We gotta do a 10 year TSMX special thing but technically that would be January 31, 2012. The only thing standing in the way of TSM not being around past that is 12/21/12..but anyway. As for Spidey 4, no need for it regardless of whether they keep the original cast or not.

and see, if more regular people start driving diesel powered cars then diesel will probably go up further in price which will anger truck drivers even more and drive prices for everything through the roof and into the clouds... and there was an article today that says the state of Maryland is expecting blackouts/brownouts by 2011 if no new power plants are built.. Well..it takes a few years to build one, so Im guessing I should plan on them happening. And people want to plug their cars in to run them on electricity? HA! There will be blackouts all year instead of just in the summer when people get hot and run the AC all day if people start plugging cars in. Then you wont be able to charge your car..and the price of electricity will probably rise high enough to where its more expensive to charge your car and run your household electricity than it would to use gas even at $5 a gallon and power the house by electric.

Pinjockey suggested I post this up in the thread so I will.. That free Stat Tracker/draft kit and $10 credit towards a new RME account..it would be cool if everyone who signed up for this league also signed up for that and then sends Pinjockey the $10 (its free to send money to other RME accounts). If all 18 teams did this, there would be a $180 pot from which the top 3 teams at the end of the year could share from ($90/60/30). Basically the major issues with having a money league are solved by this: 1) No one has to put up any of their own money. The $10 goes into your account almost immediately upon signup, not to mention you get free Stat Tracker service for the season AND the draft kit which runs $15 itself. 2) It wont cost anything to transfer the money around to Pinjockey and ultimately the top 3 team owners. Only those 3 people would have to link the RME account to a bank account to withdraw the money, although they could always find someone selling something who would accept RME as a form of payment if they didnt want to link to a bank account(although it will never be accepted on Ebay due to them owning paypal and not getting a cut of the revenue). RME is a pretty cool alternative to Paypal with no fees to deposit or send money to anyone with an RME account. They ask for minimal personal info at signup but you dont have to link it to a bank account if you dont want to. You could even sign up, take the 10 bucks give it to pinjockey and never use the service again if you didnt want to..

Really. Can't wait until that amazing Knox/Henry/Hardy 3 way feud. Mike Knox has to be an ECW champ. and Im assuming ECW gets a RAW talent share deal the same as with SD.

Shelton Benjamin to SD..wow..thats an actual good pick

Craig Tello - one of the smartest individuals to ever step foot in WWE Matt Striker vs the Genius!

Matt Striker to RAW... RAW needs another useless interview segment

Are they gonna break up all their tag teams. They should stick JTG on ECW, the non almost fired Highlander on SD (Finlay fued!), The Miz on RAW...

haha

I called it..yay..

I cant sleep now..so.. Shatterproof African Bats Vanity Fair of all places with a timely article on the maple bat shattering issue..

The main reason why diesel cars never made it here in the US is because they couldn't pass US Emission Standards set by the EPA over 30 years ago. Luckily the standards have been changed and now you will see diesel powered passenger cars in the US (as soon as this summer with the 45 mpg VW Jetta) The craziest thing is that Ford and GM have been making very efficient diesel engines/cars for the last 20 years but they could only manufacture and sell them in Europe due to emission standards being different in Europe. With the relaxed emission rules, I would think that they would be beneficiaries of it since they could probably very easily start selling diesel powered cars that would be getting 40+ mpg easy within 2 years or so, no hybrid technology necessary. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris which gets about 38 mpg, but the 2006 European Diesel version gets between 55-65 mpg. The one hit on diesel that I see is that its going for more than regular gasoline is. Diesel here I think is running $4.70ish where as regular gas is still sub $4 at $3.93 (STILL! I cant believe it!). A diesel Yaris nearly doubling the mpg would make sense for the extra 70 cents, but if the diesel version is only going to throw out like a 20% increase in mpg it might not be worth the extra money.

Yes!

What's your basis of that? Other then that Jericho has a title and has no defense in line. You think he'll do a Highlight Reel segment and Punk crashes and challenges in an attempt to stand up for the injured HBK? They could do that with Mysterio (if he's cleared and it's not like that ever stops Rey from getting back in the ring). I don't think Jericho does a match at all on NOC. Maybe a brawl segment with Shawn but not an actual match. Jericho comes out..starts cutting a promo about HBK. Says its too bad Shawn can't compete tonight. Out pops Shawn with an eye patch and he says that Jericho isn't going to sneak out of defending the title that easily, hes found a suitable opponent for Jericho tonight..and its CM Punk. They had an ok match 2 months ago in the KOTR qualifying which Punk won.

Rest of the article here Yay, another strike!

It pretty much just hit me that Jericho will probably end up facing CM Punk at NOC.

I signed up and I also took advantage of the Revolution Money Exchange offer of $10 + free stat tracking and draft kit. RME is like paypal and its supposed to be much better.

The Os needed this win tonight because Im concerned about Buress and Liz pitching the next two games, Liz especially since the talk is the writing is on the wall with him being 1 more bad start away from out of the rotation..

Sherill was just toying with em lol.. 3 straight ks after loading the bases. Os win! flat breezy time!

Theres no flood outs in baseball! Lets see if the Sheriff can get 3 more outs..

did ya miss where I said Ive gotten used to WWF and Nintendo?

Cubs bullpen isn't that good.

ECW should get Super Crazy just so they can mention his tenure in the original ECW before having him get squashed 3 or 4 weeks straight.
