Get Higher Gas Mileage!

Taking care of your vehicle will make the car last the longest and it will give you the most mileages out of it. Some of the benefits are that you will have fewer repairs, your car will run smooth and won’t leave you stranded some where, will help on your gas mileage and more. Now you don’t need to be a car mechanic to know about your car. In this article I will provide you with steps on how to take care of your vehicle, and help you learn a little more.
The first thing I recommend to people is to have a repair manual for your vehicle. This will help you learn and understand a little more info about your car and what it will need. Remember getting to know your vehicle will help you out in the future plus when you take in to a mechanic shop you will know a little more about what the guy is talking about and this way you will know that you are not getting screwed. You can basically buy the manual at any dealer or even an auto parts store.
Here are some procedures for maintaining your car.
You can also find really good articles and info on 104Inc or you can also go to 104Automotive.com or 104Mechanic.com and more at 104Inc.com you can find anything you need in your daily life.
Weekly: Check all of your fluids and make sure you service your car all the time. This includes your radiator fluid only when it is cold so you don’t’ burn your self, transmission fluid, brake fluid, engine oil, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid. Now most of these fluids are very important for the car to run properly except the windshield washer fluid is more of safety because it can clean your windshield if it is dirty or something covers it. Now in any of your fluids you notice that it smells or it is dirty then it is time for you to change it.
Bi Weekly: Check your tire pressure. You will need a tire pressure gauge, which you can find at almost all auto part stores or gas stations and they are not that expensive. Each tire valve will have a cap on it to protect it from rocks and dirt. You will have to unscrew the cap counter clock wise till it is off. Then stick the gage on the valve which will then tell you what Pressure your tires are. Now you have to check your manual, or the driver front door would have a sticker or actually another easier way would be to check your tire and it will have the info on it on what the pressure should be set to. Now remember when your tire is cold you will have an accurate reading, because once it gets warm the air in the tire will expand and won’t give you an accurate readings. Now if the tire pressure is low then you can basically go to any gas station or repair shop.
Tire Pressure Tip – When you have the pressure set properly on your tires then you will save some money on gas and by that you will be getting more mileage out of a full tank, also your tire won’t pull to one side if one of them has less or even more air in it.

Angry Swede throws down medal, quits

BEIJING, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw down his greco-roman bronze medal in protest on Thursday after his bid for Olympic gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as “politics.”
Abrahamian took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat then walked off.
“I don’t care about this medal. I wanted gold,” he said.
A bitter Abrahamian, silver medalist at Athens 2004 who had high hopes of top honors in the 84kg competition in Beijing, announced he was quitting the sport.
“This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure,” he said.
The Swedish wrestler had to be restrained by teammates earlier when a row erupted with judges over the decision in a semifinal bout at the Chinese Agricultural University Gym with Andrea Minguzzi of Italy, who went on the take gold.
Abrahamian shouted at the referee and judges then went over to their seats to speak to them up close. He angrily threw off the restraining arm of a team official then turned and left.
Swedish fans booed loudly as the judges filed out of the arena. Abrahamian said nothing to waiting reporters but whacked an aluminium barricade with his fist as he left the hall.
Abrahamian later said he believed his loss to the eventual gold medalist Minguzzi was “totally unjustified.” The wrestler said his friends “called me just 20 minutes before the (bronze) competition, begging me to compete.”
“I decided that I had come this far and didn’t want to let them down, so I wrestled,” he said.
Swedish coach Leo Myllari said: “It’s all politics.”
Myllari did not say if he intended to lodge a formal protest over the decision by referee Jean-Marc Petoud of Switzerland, judge Lee Ronald Mackay of Canada, and mat chairman Guillermo Orestes Molina of Cuba.
Other favourites went out in the semi-finals or earlier.
Athens 96kg gold medallist Karam Gaber of Egypt failed to make it to the quarterfinals. Aleksey Mishin of Russia, who took Athens gold in the 84kg class, was beaten by Minguzzi. Ramaz Nozazde of Georgia, who took silver in Athens, succumbed to Marek Svec of the Czech Republic, still fighting at age 35. Svec then lost to Russia’s European champion Aslanbek Kushtov, who caught him with a spectacular fall.
In the heavyweight 120kg class, Armenia’s Yuri Patrikeev and Dremiel Byers of the United States, both favored as finalists, failed to go through.

HOW TO SELL ON EBAY TIP #1 - Choosing the right products to sell

So you want to start an online business! Since most people don't know anything about ecommerce and building websites and such, most folks will start out by selling products on eBay, then pay someone to build a website once the money starts coming in. The big question is: what is the hot product to sell on eBay to make money fast? While it's true that selling products on eBay can be a quick, low cost way to launch an online business, following the herd by selling the "hot product" of the moment, is not a great idea. To the contrary, chances are you will be stomped in the ground by the herd and left lying in the dust with your unsold inventory in hand.
The most successful eBay sellers are those who understand that success on eBay relies on many of the same factors as success in a brick and mortar business.

Smart sellers research the marketplace and the competition to determine the salability and profitability of the product. Smart sellers test the market with one or two before committing to a product line and tying up their cash reserves in inventory that may never sell. Smart sellers adjust their product offerings until they find a product or product line that sells consistently.
The last point is perhaps the most important. Long term eBay success does not come from "one off" sales. The key to real eBay success is to find a product that sells well and sell that product over and over and over again.
There are several websites where you can find excellent products that can ship products directly to your customers once you sell their products. These companies are often called Dropship companies.

104Discount.com will offer you the best service of all since they will gather products from several manufacturers all in one place PLUS they will offer their dropshipping services to all theirs members at no extra cost.
There are other websites that offer you the wholesale sources only, which means that you will need to work with the manufacturers directly in order to buy and sell the products on ebay.

Current Home Buyers Beware!

I have been in Lending and Real Estate for about 12 years professionally. Before that I was always with my Grandfather watching and learning this business from him. He was in this business for over 50 years. What is happening today is unprecedented.

Nothing like this has happened in over 100 years and nothing like this may occur again. At this point all I can say is “Buyer Beware” and “Current Homeowner Beware.”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two GSE’s that purchase all of the conventional mortgages in the United States, last week reported losses in the 2nd quarter which was 3 times less then what Wall Street estimated. After they reported there earnings they announced that home prices are expected to fall on average an additional 20% from their current levels. Some areas will not lose as much while other areas will be impacted a great deal. The hardest hit areas will be California, Nevada, Florida, and Arizona.

What does this mean to buyers?

What you buy today will be worth less in the next 12 months. Once home do start appreciating they will appreciate at a much slower pace then at anytime in our history.

What does this mean to current home owners?

As long as you have no plans to move for several years then you are fine. For those who cannot afford the house payment anymore you might as well just walk away because I do not see any relief in sight. Even though the government approved that Housing rescue bill we still do not know all the details. It is estimated that it will only help 400,000 families but it is estimated that a total of 2 million families will be hit with Foreclosures in 2008.

What can we do?

I do not have the answers. However you may be able to find the answers by speaking to a professional in your area that handles these types of issues. You may have to confer with an attorney, tax, or real estate professional to help you with a plan. And believe me a plan is what every person needs right now. Do not go into this blindly. Get as much information as you can and be ready for the biggest roller coaster ride ever.

To find a qualified person to talk to in your area just go to 104inc.com. This site allows me to search different firms by geo-targeting the area that I live in. Check out 104cpa.com, 104realestate.com or 104attorneys.com as a starting point. You can see reviews posted by other users and join a network of like people who may be in the same.

Ohh, You're on a Diet, Need Tips?

So there you are, sitting at home. Hungry. Starving in fact. You leave the house looking for something to eat, only to find nothing but fast-food restaurants and supposed non-fat frozen yogurt spots. So, what's the problem? Ohh, you're on a diet? Well, let me tell you a thing or two about the trials and tribulations of diets.

They typically do not work. They might show some promise at first, but they usually have you popping dangerous pills or eating some archaic concoction of cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and lemon juice for weeks on end; last I checked, my dog wouldn't even eat that. So, why do you want to diet? You want to be healthier, and lose that unsightly weight you've carried around with you for quite some time. Fair enough. We all try and want to lose weight, but don’t always know where to turn. You do now.

Log on to 104Diet.com to find great diet specialists and health conscious establishments that will supplement your new lifestyle. 104Diet.com is also a great place to read handy tips and insightful articles that will assist you on your journey!

OK, so you need to lose weight, but where do you start? Well, the key isn't simple. It isn't easy. But it is extremely effective! The solution: eat more...often that is. Let me put it to you like this. If you didn't eat breakfast this morning, you're not losing any weight today, plain and simple. Your body is a machine, and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal! You could put the cheapest gas in your car, and it will run, but it won't nearly as smoothly as a higher-end, premium gasoline designed to clean your system, right? Same concept here. You need to modify your lifestyle and train your body.

Here's what you do. Instead of eating 1-2 (or 3) big meals a day, break them down into 5-6 small meals, eating approximately every 2-3 hours. I know this sounds like a lot, and at first it may be difficult, but after no time you'll be loving it! Look at the simple mechanics of it all. When you eat, your body digests the food, breaking it down. The speed in which it digests is dependent on how fast your metabolism is. The faster your metabolism, the quicker you digest, the less fat can sit and build up. So when you eat a big breakfast, your body begins breaking the food down, slowly building your metabolism for the day.

If you don't eat for 8-10 hours, your metabolism has become stagnant, at a stand still, and will need time to rebuild speed; but if you eat every 2-3 hours, you don't give your metabolism the chance to slow down, methodically building its speed.

Stay tuned for next week’s installment, when I discuss combining this metabo-speed technique with a low-carb diet. Until then, eat well, live well, and log on to 104Diet.com for all your diet needs!

Should Lopez Lomong have been been the United States Olympics Flag Bearer?

The Olympics have started and one of the more interesting stories for the United States team has been who the athletes have chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremonies. They could have easily chosen someone like Michael Phelps or Kobe Bryant, but they chose Lopez Lomong. Lomong is a runner and is scheduled to run in the 1,500 meter race.
Lomong was born in Sudan and is one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”. The Lost Boys are group of about 3,800 refugees from Sudan that were brought from Sudan to the United States in 2001. Only about 100 of the refugees were female. They were either separated from their parents or orphaned. The Lost Boys were spread out over 38 cities in U.S. The story was made into a documentary called “Lost Boys of Sudan” which follows the adjustment period of some of the refugees that came to America.

Lomong was relocated to Tully, NY when he was transferred to the U.S. from Sudan. He graduated from high school in Tully and went to college at Northern Arizona University. Lomong became an American citizen in 2007. Lomong is also part of Team Darfur, which is a group of athletes from various countries that want to bring attention to the crisis in Darfur.
The story of the Lost Boys isn’t quite the same as the current conflict in Darfur. The deaths occurred in different parts of Sudan and to different ethnic groups; however, both of the crises have resulted in the deaths of millions of people.

There are many facets to Lomong’s story. There is the sports side, the political side, and the charity aspect. 104inc.com is one of the places you can go on the internet to get all of the aspects of a story.

Do you think that Lopez Lomong should have been been the United States Olympics Flag Bearer even though he's only been a citizen since 2007? Comments?
