Water Fuel Will Become Dominant
August 11, 2008 on 4:42 am | In Environment | No CommentsFuelling a car with water has long been promoted by the science fiction community. Ideas such as this have been documented by such authors as H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony. These inventive minds have always created technology never dreamed of.
A dream for running a vehicle on water has been many peoples’ desire since the inception of water used as energy for power plants. Water-fuelled inventions have been tried by many people. Each invention has failed, until recently.
Inventors believe they have found the key to making water a valuable source for car fuel in Japan. As of yet, it has not been patented. Other companies will be able to use it once the patent has been given.
The car companies will be able to make vehicles that are cheaper and cleaner once this patent is publicized. The ozone layer has been damaged by the pollution created by emissions of gas from vehicles. Many believe a second ice age is not too far behind with the ozone layer being damaged.
Our air will become cleaner once the water-fuelled vehicles are created and the oil used to create petrol has been made obsolete. It is not only good for the people of the planet, it is a good step for the environment. The cases of cancer will lessen across the globe with the cleaner air.
Other technology-based countries have always been a step behind Japan. The technology industry of Japan has invented and reinvented cell phones, computers, and video games. Another notch in the Japanese technology belt will be the water-based fuel movement.
Many inventors’ dream has been to create a water-fuelled vehicle. Many men have tried making an engine that runs purely on water with no other energy source. Two men, Stanley Meyers and Henry Garrett, have been known as inventors of a vehicle that ran on water.
A machine that seemed to run simply by water energy was created by Stanley Meyers. However, the details about how the machine actually worked were not revealed. An engine that produced energy by using water alone without any other source of energy was what he had claimed.
A machine that produced hydrogen by a mysteriously efficient form of electrolysis was what he claimed. It was discovered, however, that his machine was merely a perpetual motion machine. The mechanics of his engine defied the second law of thermodynamics.
The other man, Henry Garrett, had created a water-fuelled carburetor. It was not a new invention of the carburetor but a redesign to use water as its fuel. However much this was not a true water fuelled engine, it did help to advance the research for modern science.
Water-fuelled cars will become a modern concept rather than a futuristic view, once the patent has been given. The Japanese water-fuelled car will help create a cleaner world. People will enjoy a cleaner world and cheaper fuel prices.
A Habit to Call my Own
August 11, 2008 on 4:40 am | In Family | No CommentsWe all have our favorite comfort food. For me it’s Jack in the Box tacos and Wheat Thins. I am guessing you crave your comfort food or snack when you are tired, lonely sad or even happy. I know I do! If you had tasted this food as an adult, you most likely would never eat it again, but still you find yourself drawn to it. I know, it’s just not logical.
In reality the logic is simple, you have an emotional attachment to the food you are eating. I can justify eating my favorite tacos because I think it will make me feel happy, content or calm, I am guessing you feel the same way about your food. You know the food is not good for you, but subconsciously you think it will. After a while you begin to believe the food will make you feel better and because our mind believes this, you do feel better, but the effect is short lived.
Guilt kicks in after only a few bites. However this does not stop me from eating one taco, or even my second one! I am sure you know this feeling, it is very frustrating. I know I should not be eating the oddly textured, greasy taco but I really feel like eating it. I have the same cravings, longing and urge to devour that taco, the same as you.
Demolishing the taco is a habit and the habit was learned through different ways. I learned the love of the taco by going to the beach. I was seven or eight years old maybe. I was with my family on the way to the beach in Southern California. We were talking about Jack in the Box tacos. My mom and aunt were talking about how good and greasy they are. We talked about how perfect the tacos would be to have at the beach. All of us were all happy and having a good time. It was a warm, sunny day at the beach, and we were going to play and enjoy ourselves. We reached Jack in the Box and ordered the tacos, and boy were they the most amazing tacos in the world! Some sand got into one of my tacos, but I did not care, we were having a good day. Memories which are important are typically vivid and more influential than everyday random memories.
Today, just the anticipation of getting the tacos triggers good feelings which are associated with this memory. Sometimes the memory comes with it and sometimes not. It is important to understand how we relate feelings to different things in our lives, things like food, music or a voice.
I used to love Aerosmith. I would listen to their songs over and over again, and never get sick of them. All this changed in the 90’s when I took my then girlfriend to an Aerosmith concert. Things did not get well and since then I don’t care for their music, each song reminds me of her. This is just another example of how memories can influence simple things in our lives.
It’s SoCal, the 70’s, my family has a van with pin stripes, and the interior was tangerine orange with matching carpet. Yes it makes me laugh too! I was about six years old and encountered a large black widow spider in this van. My parents made me and my brothers’ get out of the van quickly. For years I had an embarrassing fear of spiders. I was able to link it to this memory. I am now able to kill spiders, but if I see a big one I still get nervous, but nothing like it use to be.
I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear a stern voice, like my wife saying, Patrick Michael Glancy, I know I have either done something wrong or need to find something to do like hide in the garage. Most people feel like a child when they hear this tone of voice. Especially when someone uses your first, middle and last name!
Enough about me, the point of all this is to show you common sense examples of learned behaviors. Emotions associated with memories trigger very powerful, behind the scenes reactions and decisions in our minds. Take a moment and think about some powerful memories you have had and think about how they might relate to other things in your life.

Tips for Safe Baby Stroller Use
August 11, 2008 on 4:19 am | In Family | No CommentsTips for Baby Stroller Safety
The use of baby strollers has offered a convenience to parents on the go for decades now. Do we keep aware of the many red flags and safety alerts that accompany products designed for our infants and toddlers?
Because it is heart rending to hear of a baby and/or toddler subjected to strollers that may cause injury, and potential death, the following information has been compiled to aid parents in knowing and understanding what safety enhancements are most important when selecting baby strollers.
Parents, like yourself, need to take the time to determine if the product is safe when purchasing a unit for your child. We have tried to provide data concerning the dangers that are associated with these devices, as well as some basic safety features that are important to the health and life of your child.
Dangers Associated With Stroller Use
According to Pediatric Emergency Care, there were a number of stroller related injuries responded to in the year of 2004 to the year of 2007 by the 911 Response Team in just one community. The statistics of this particular study indicated the following:
Of 241 different incidents involving shopping carts and strollers, there were 121 related directly to stroller use, during this study over approximately three and a half years.
The ages of the children that were involved in the stroller related injuries averaged between 0 months and 6 months of age.
The largest number of the injuries reported were due to falls, resulting in a percentage of 47.5% of all the cases.
59% of the injuries attributed to stroller related injuries resulted in injuries to the head area.
At least 18% of the children monitored also sustained an injury directly related to the facial area.
An ambulance transported at least 77% of the children evaluated to the local emergency treatment center.
Fortunately there were no resulting deaths in this study. It is estimated that a little over 8% of all the children involved were hospitalized for further treatment and evaluation of their injuries.
Based on the information obtained from this study, medical professionals determined that education should be an emphasis when it comes to parents who implement the use of baby strollers. It is believed that if parents are aware of the steps to keep their children safe in strollers, there will be less likelihood that injury and even death may occur while using this type of device.
Safety Measures for Stroller Use
If you have purchased a stroller, or you are considering purchasing a stroller, it is important that you know and understand the basic safety measures that you can take in this situation. The following details some effective strategies that have been found to enhance the safe use of strollers.
1. Fact: Strollers that are narrow tend to have the most complications when it comes to leaning and tipping over. It is essential to ensure that you purchase astroller that has a base that is relatively wide. This way, there is a reduced opportunity for tipping and accidental falls.
2. There are many situations in which parents may be tempted to hang things on the stroller handles, such as purses and diaper bags. It is important to avoid the temptation to do this. By doing so, you are presenting the possibility of causing the stroller to tip over and result in injury.
3. It will add security to the stroller for the child when you use the seatbelt attached to the stroller at all times.
4. Take the time to use the device that locks the stroller into place every single time that you are using the stroller. It is equally important to use the wheel locking devices when the stroller is not in movement.
5. When using the device, you should never leave it unattended. It is when a child is left unattended that the most injuries occur.
6. Before and after each use check the stroller carefully to ensure that the parts are all secure - especially the seat area and the wheel area. Do not place your child in the stroller if you find that any parts are loose. It is best to fix these components, or purchase a new unit altogether.
7. You should always evaluate the product that you have compared to the product recalls that are issued on a regular basis due to safety issues. If you find that your stroller is listed, simply discard it or follow the appropriate instructions on the recall list.
Conclusion
While strollers offer a number of benefits to the parents, these devices can also pose a danger to the children that are placed in them. It is imperative to ensure that you learn as much as you can regarding what can happen, and how to prevent these situations from occurring. If you do this, it is almost a guarantee that your child and/or children will remain safe.
How to design a lazy susan pantry cabinet.
August 11, 2008 on 4:02 am | In Home Repair | No CommentsOur pantry cabinet design begun when my wife and I ultimately got sick and tired with the problem of reaching to find items in the back of our kitchen pantry storage unit.
The closet had 5 shelves from ceiling to floor and was 23 inches deep. You could store a lot of stuff in there, but couldn’t get to it with out pulling items off of the shelves.
We checked at all the local hardware stores and were not happy with all the wasted spaces they left in the cabinet. I talked with my son and wife about a 6 shelf Lazy Susan pantry cabinet design with back shelves that used all the space and wasted very little.
Our pantry is a trapezoid shape that is 23″ deep, 27″ wide at the back and 41″ wide at the front and 76 inches high. It is quite large and can hold a lot of dry good items.
We determined to make a one half semi circle shelf with the pivot post at the front of the closet door. We wanted the Lazy Susan large and to pivot so that we could reach the back shelves of the pantry easily.
The trick was to find the center of pantry entrance and still clear the pantry door as the Lazy Susan swung around. Once I found this point I mounted a 5/8 inch pillow block bearing to the top inside of the pantry door to make all other measurements. I hung a plum bob from the pillow block bearing to the point I marked on the floor as the center of the pantry door.
I would suggest that you make a poster board template of the pantry floor to make all your measurements and drawings. Each shelf has a different dimension so make sure you know the largest and smallest dimensions. You should be able to come up with one set of dimensions that will work for all shelves. The shelves can then be cut to the smallest dimension and they should fit in any location.
My wife, my sons and I decided to paint the inside of the pantry a white color so that it would be bright and easy to find items on the back shelves and the lazy susan shelves. We wanted to used all oak plywood panels and stain them a natural oak color.
Can You Really Run A Car On Water
August 11, 2008 on 3:52 am | In Environment | No CommentsYes, there is such as thing as a water powered auto. Over the years, new solutions have been designed and implemented whereby water is used for energy. In addition to saving a lot of money on the high price of gas, there is also the benefit of helping to cut back on air pollution.
Today, fuel costs way too much. The result is people are looking for ways to save money or get better gas mileage. With the announcement that there is now a way to run a car on water, it has received tons of attention.
To run a car on gas, you would not simply fill the tank with h20. However, a number of programs and solutions are available whereby the car can be converted so water becomes the main source of fuel. Although fuel is still used, the h20 increases gas mileage and helps the car run better.
To switch your car over so it can run on water, you should understand the system. Using what is called electrolysis water is used in a way that works. With this, a small vessel filled with water that is connected to your car battery.
From there, the water powered car uses electricity that is provided from the battery, which works to convert water into oxy hydrogen or brown gas, more commonly known as HHO. With this, the HHO works along with the gas, generating more power that helps you get much better fuel mileage.
If you want to consider a water fueled car, you will find that you end up with a 20% to 60% savings on gas mileage. Before you run out and decide this is the right solution for you, it is important to understand the benefits. First, you can actually do the work yourself by using a conversion kit.
In fact, to run a car on water, people can even make hydrogen generators at home. There are a number of manuals sold on the right way to create this type of system. From there, you could purchase a kit and using everyday tools; actually develop your own water powered generator.
Making your own system for a water powered vehicle comes with a lot of advantages. For one thing, the process to buy a converter for hydrogen is expensive. Making one at home will save money from the unit, it will save you thousands of dollars on gas every year, and it works to clean up the environment.
Remember, while still being worked on, today no one system can run a car on water alone. In fact, people promoting hydrogen converter kits will tell you that you would never actually replace fossil fuel. However, the kit would use the water as the main source for the water powered car, which means savings on fuel cost, better gas mileage, and an improvement in air pollution.
For instance, one car may get 20% improvement in fuel mileage while another may get 60%. Regardless, anything is better than trying to stretch miles out of $4 per gallon gasoline. The gains from using a water fueled car are tremendous and well worth the consideration for converting.
Many different conversation kits are now being sold and in fact, one developer has more than 3,000 customers who are thrilled with the results. To run a car on water offers a chance of savings and taking back some power over the high cost of gas. This means the overall savings is an amazing technologically advancement.
Helpful Tips to Lucky Bamboo Gifts Stalks Plants
August 11, 2008 on 3:33 am | In Family | No CommentsFeng Shui is a popular Chinese tradition that focus on harmonizing your life with the natural elements like water, fire, and earth. It gives great importance in the correct placement of different lucky charms in your home and workplace. It is believed that such practice will give you a harmonious life through the use of your talents without any difficulties.
Believers in Feng Shui use lucky bamboo plants as lucky charms. They are hydroponic plants - which means the roots grow in water instead of sand or soil. They are similar to a bonsai tree in that they are miniature versions of the original bamboo plants from Africa or Asia.
The five elements of Feng Shui, which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, are all represented in a lucky bamboo plant. This makes them a unique Feng Shui charm. Earth is represented by the pot that contains the plant. Water is represented by the water that gives the plant it’s life. The plant itself is the representation of wood. In order to provide the elements of metal and fire, a red ribbon is tied around it and a metal coin is placed in it.
By placing lucky bamboo plants in your home you can enjoy improved health, better monetary prospects etc. The benefits that you get depend on the number of stalks in the plant. For example, if your luck bamboo has three stalks, it would help bring happiness in your home.
However, lucky bamboo plants should have five stalks to bring health and good fortune to you and your loved ones. The number four in Chinese sounds like the word for death, and thus should be avoided in a lucky bamboo plant. You should ask your florist to help select the best plant for you.
These plants are long lasting - up to five years in some cases, and require little water or care. This makes them excellent gifts as they are very easy to take care of. They bring luck to both the sender and the recipient of the gift. Your nearest flower delivery shop in your locality is the place to contact if you want to send a gift of a lucky bamboo plant.
