			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Transport is one of the gravest issues facing mankind. Getting from A to B is responsible for a lot of pollution, carbon emissions and uses a lot of natural resources. 30% of carbon emissions in America are caused by cars. Not only do cars emit green house gases, they also give off other polluting gases. Moreover, even supposed &rsquo;green&rsquo; cars such as hybrids require metal ores for their bodies. Metal ores are a limited resource that are quickly being used up.</p>
<p>It is with this in mind that many people have started to <a href="http://www.allaboutbamboo.net/bamboobike.html">make bamboo bicycles</a>. These use only metal for the handle bar, shocks and chain. The frame of a bamboo bicycle is made from poles of bamboo that are held together by hemp and some type of resin that dries hard. Bamboo has a tensile strength comparable with metal and in fact has a higher weight to strength ratio than metal. Many people have bamboo bicycles and swear by them.</p>
<p>In the Third World bamboo bicycle production is encouraged as a way of promoting a more sustainable transport system. Using bamboo instead of metal frames makes African countries less reliant on imports and reduces the carbon emissions these imports entail.</p>
<p>The only problem is that bamboo bicycles are difficult to mass produce, and for this reason remain too expensive for many to buy. Still the principle is sound. The next step is to develop not just an electric car, but an electric car made with a bamboo chasis. That would be a massive green leap forward. Let&rsquo;s hope the bamboo bicycle catches on and leads to a consumer demand for a bamboo car.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As any <a href="http://manhattan-chiropractor.info">Manhattan Chiropractor</a> can tell you, back pain seems to increase during the times of the year when we travel the most. &nbsp;Summer is one good example as is the time around Christmas.</p>
<p>Sitting in a car for a long drive can do things to your back which should never be done. &nbsp;Let&rsquo;s face it, as humans we were not designed to sit for long periods of time. &nbsp;We were made to walk or even to run short distances and to sit only in order to rest.</p>
<p>Visting a chiropractor both before your long trip and when you get back home is a good idea as a good chiropractor can help your back be properly aligned and allow you to recover from your trip in the shortest amount of time possible if you are experiencing pain. &nbsp;Of course less pain often means a quicker start on that crazy pille of laundry you probably brought back home with you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s just something about arrived in a fast car women can&#8217;t resist. All kinds of musclecar is have an incredible effect on women&#8217;s libido. That&#8217;s the best kinds of muscle cars in my opinion are those painted the color red. If you have a red musclecar you can do nearly anyone I&#8217;ve owned muscle cars, red muscle cars, for twenty five years. I&#8217;m not attesting to their success at forging long-term relationships, no. But I am interested in sharing the truth that I learned when I was 18. All you need to get a girl is a fast car and a place to bring her.</p>
<p>Which brings me to my next point, finding the right <a title="Property to rent" href="http://www.propertywide.co.uk/rent/" target="_blank">property to rent</a>. I always recommend downtown or on a high street. That way when you drop her off you never have to drive the car too long to get to a major train or subway stop. It&#8217;s more important than you think. Do not to spend too much chitchat time in the morning. The longer you talk the deeper she tries to sink her hooks.You have to have a flat that gives you the kind of people only investors have. Because that&#8217;s what this is all about, giving the impression of long-term stability and an overwhelming sense of affluence. When women get an overdose of that kind of man, she can&#8217;t help herself and immediately wants to get him for her own. By any means necessary. The most important thing to remember is not to get too attached, just like your cars they could be here one day and gone the next. But the road will always be there stretching out before you with more cars and more women.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all the wisdom I can impart to you today. I might be back later with a few tips about gin drinking on transatlantic flights. Happy hunting and rev those engines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A travel pillow needs to do one thing well: help you sleep in an upright position.  This requirement hold true for both airplane travel and car rides.  Granted you may have a little more space in a car than if you&#8217;re riding in economy class on a packed flight but we&#8217;re going to assume that you&#8217;re trying to rest while in a vertical position.  So what should your perfect traveling companion deliver?  Here are three things, explained in more detail in the travel pillow review page over at A Wider View.</p>
<ol>
<li>It needs to ensure that your head does not bob forward or side to side.  Not only can this jerk you awake uncomfortably but you may also end up with a nasty nexk strain.  (Not nice, these can last for days).</li>
<li>It needs to be lightweight and potable.  After all you are traveling so you don&#8217;t want to be bogged down with bulky, heavy luggage.  For airline travel in particular you want the pillow to either fold away to a small size or be able to snap onto your hand luggage.</li>
<li>It needs to support your head and neck without bounce back.  The perfect travel pillow will mold to your individual contours evening out any hard edges.  The fill consistency should be firm enough to offer support but not so firm that your head bounces around on the surface of the pillow.</li>
</ol>
<p>The good news is that there has been a whole load of experimentation and innovation in the travel pillow industry.  They now come in all sorts of shapes, models and designs and use different fill material (from the classic memory foam to micro beads and buckwheat hulls).  So instead of recommending just one &#8220;perfect travel pillow&#8221; for both car and airplane, I&#8217;ll highlight two.</p>
<ul>
<li>Travel pillow recommendation 1:  The travel sash pillow which is worn across the chest.  I am a sideways sleeper so I just love this pillow.  As it&#8217;s inflatable it&#8217;s incredibly portable and light.</li>
<li>Travel pillow recommendation 2: The Miracle neck rest.  This is made from top quality memory form and completely encircles the neck.  It&#8217;s got a more minimalist design that the travel sash and is also very portable.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For every new country I visit I always try my best to rent a Jeep or a moped so I can see things that the normal tourist route wouldn&rsquo;t normally allow. Now, I don&rsquo;t always get to rent the type of sports cars I normally like to drive but as long as I am mobile I don&rsquo;t mind too much. In fact one of my best experiences was driving a campervan across the length of New Zealand, the scenery was simply stunning and the country had a great feel and atmosphere to it. There are many things that can improve your driving experience no matter where you are, one thing in particular for me that helped was having an electronic cigarette. Obviously this is one for the smokers out there but an e cig can be beneficial in so many ways, for one you can smoke in the car without fear of it smelling, burning or subjecting passengers to passive smoking. There is no ash and no butts so no chance of you starting a forest fire in that lovely country you are visiting. I used a <a title="Vapor King Coupon Code" href="http://www.smokelesscigarettesdeals.com/vapor-king-coupon-code/">Vapor King coupon code</a> to start me off and I can only recommend it.</p>
<p>Another thing I learnt specifically in New Zealand is that you don&rsquo;t need a portable toilet in your campervan, the facilities along the roadside and in camp sites are super clean and well maintained. Saves you clearing t out as well!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the United States the road trip is considered an American tradition. Many families spend their summers traveling around the country in their cars to visit other states. It is also a popular activity for college students during summer vacation. It is a great bonding experience for families and friends. Many great stories have been told within the backdrop of a road trip. A very important part of the road trip is the car that is going to be used for the drive. The <a href="http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/58_Business-Case-Development-Toolkit-with-Excel-model.php">business case</a> or critical question to ask is this &#8212; is a muscle car such as a Ford Mustang or Pontiac Firebird a good car to drive on a road trip?</p>
<p>First what are muscle cars? If you watch the movies a good example of a muscle car is the Chevy Camaro used in the ‘Transformers’, the Shelby Mustang used in ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’, and almost every other car used in the movie ‘The Fast and the Furious’. Muscle cars are American made 2 door sports cars that are built for high performance. They are known for their speed and are the preferred car for drag racers. Aside from speed muscle cars are also prized for their impressive design. Now we know that the muscle car will be fast and will allow you to look good while on the road.</p>
<p>But is speed and image the most important things to consider in choosing an automobile to drive long distances? Probably not, since you will be driving long distances comfort should be more important. Reliability in giving you a smooth and safe ride is another. And of course, fuel efficiency is another important consideration.</p>
<p>On comfort, muscle cars are usually 2 seat vehicles. If they can accommodate four people the back is likely going to be cramped. If there will only be two people then driving a muscle car will give you a comfortable ride but more than that expect an uncomfortable drive.</p>
<p>On a safe and smooth drive, since muscle cars have powerful V8 engines they should be able to handle long distance travel. Provided the driver keeps the drive at a decent pace and does not over exert the vehicle then it should be able to deliver a safe and smooth drive.</p>
<p>On fuel efficiency, this is probably the reason why muscle cars are not the best choice for long distance travel. They are great gas-guzzlers with their big V8 race engines and will require more refueling than any regular vehicle. In terms of fuel efficiency muscle cars would not be the choice for long distance travel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the most common RV pitfalls have to do with an <a href="http://guarantyrv.net/">RV guaranty</a> and RVers&rsquo; negligence of the importance of securing one.&nbsp; A lot of RV owners think that the road ahead of them is safe and secure, crime-free and that emergencies will never happen to them.</p>
<p>But in real life scenarios, this may not be the case. Once in a while we will experience unfortunate inconveniences while traveling in various places via recreational vehicle, so we should know for a fact that unexpected danger may be lurking just around the corner!</p>
<p>For this reason alone, filing for a warranty for your recreational vehicle is the most sensible choice to maintain peace of mind while on the road; most people rent or buy an RV to fulfill the purpose of going out and enjoying all our great country has to offer; the last thing that you want while you are frolicking in the sunshine is to get stressed out by a serious roadside breakdown. At least with an RV warranty you will be reimbursed for any such occurrence that you may encounter.</p>
<p>Another reason on why you should get a warranty for your vehicle &#8211; whether small or large RV unit &#8211; is that most warranty packages come with perks and other related services. Maintenance, service, RV spruce-up packages to mention a few, but usually most RV rental companies will offer roadside assistance and towing assistance as well. The kind of warranty that you may get therefore depends on the insurance company or on the rental company / manufacturer from which you bought or rent your RV.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you are shopping for the best warranty for your RV, then look for the best deal. Learn to negotiate to come up with the best price possible.&nbsp; You can also file for an extended RV warranty if this is something that will help you breathe easier while taking your RV on the road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it turns out that my brother was going to have to go to the clinic for a <a href="http://www.snowberrylane.co.uk/minor-surgery-treatments/cyst-removal">cyst removal</a> and he was not happy about it. Despite the clinic assuring him that it was as quick and painless a procedure as he could hope for he was still a bag of nerves and miserable about it. As I had been given the task of taking him to and from the clinic I thought I would try to cheer him up by hiring a sweet ride to take us there and back.</p>
<p>Needless to say I am pretty much as close to clueless when it comes to cars as my brother is with women, but seriously, I don&#8217;t know much apart from how to drive them so I got in contact with the company and explained the situation and they said they would have it all sorted for me.</p>
<p>Needless to say when I turned up in a yellow Lambourghini it took his mind off the procedure and wonders never ceased there. When we stopped at some lights he started talking to the girls in the car next to us and bagged us a date for tonight. Here&#8217;s hoping they don&#8217;t get too mad when we turn up in his beaten up old pick up truck.</p>
<p>I was hopeful that it would work and it really did, he told me he barely even noticed the procedure as he was too busy thinking about the car, and the girls. That is him all dealt with now so we better get the car back and make ourselves look presentable for later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You absolutely deserve to have the car of your dreams.  But before you go out and make a major purchase, it&#8217;s vitally important that you take the time to ensure that you&#8217;re saving for retirement.  A <a href="http://401k-calculator.org/">401k calculator</a> is a great way to ensure you&#8217;re meeting your savings goals.</p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p>A 401k calculator is a mechanism that one can use to determine the magnitude of growth of funds in their retirement account. It provides an easy means to plan the long term investment strategies of an individual. It also helps one to make these investments adequate and reliable.</p>
<p>To use this tool, one has to first find out the balance that prevails in their 401k account. Next, one should note their annual remuneration, excluding taxes. If one is on an hourly paid job, then they can assume a 40 hour working week, devoid of overtime. This should be spread over a period of about 48 weeks, with allowances made for two weeks of unpaid holiday.</p>
<p>After this has been done, one has to estimate expected annual increments in salary. For veteran employees, some firms may provide predetermined automatic raises in annual remuneration. If this is not the case for you, simply make estimations based on prevailing inflation rates.</p>
<p>You also have to inquire on the percentage of your salary that is automatically forwarded to your 401k account by your employer. This should also include any contributions that they make without deducting from your salary. You also need to know what basis the employer makes these contributions on, whether weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and quarterly or semi-annually.</p>
<p>You can also contact your employer and review the terms under which they will match your contributions or add bonuses to them. In most cases, they normally pledge to add around 50% of the automatic deduction of their employees. Again, you need to know the basis of these payments, whether weekly, bi-weekly etc.</p>
<p>After these have been determined, you need to approximate the number of years yo will work. Most people prefer to retire at around 60. This is because at this age, one can access money in their retirement account without getting penalized. However, some prefer to continue working up to the legal retirement age of 65.</p>
<p>Having determined the length of your career, find out the yearly rate of growth of funds in your retirement account. The interest may be paid on different basis; it may be monthly, quarterly or annual. You can also evaluate the effective rate of growth, which is calculated as the interest rate minus the rate of inflation, though this is not necessary. It may however help you channel additional funds to your retirement plan if the money you have saved is inadequate.</p>
<p>After all this has been done, you can then use a 401k calculator, which is readily available on the internet. All the information gathered should be entered in the relevant fields. When all the details have been correctly entered, you can then click on the calculate button. If the calculator you are using requires information that you did not collect, you can make an informed guess.</p>
<p>When you have used this tool, you may proceed to adjust your annual contribution to meet your retirement goals. These contributions have to be adjusted while adhering to the stipulated thresholds and maximums in your personal retirement plan. The 401k calculator will then help you meet the intended value in your retirement account.</p>
