Oil The Life Of Your Car

2008-01-06T06:50:00.001-08:00

Oil cleans your car. It lubricates parts. It helps cool things down. Without it, your engine would be sitting squarely in the center of your local junkyard.
Scheduling regular oil changes is vital to the life of any vehicle.
The oil filter keeps little bits of dust and other contaminants out of your engine, and helps ensure the oil runs smoothly, so you want to change that every time you change the oil.
Imagine how your body would react if your kidneys and liver shut down. The impurities in your blood would build up continually, and it wouldn't take long for your body to completely break down.
Oil for your car can be likened to blood to your body. Your car needs clean oil to keep going. What would happen if you never changed your oil?
Well, you'd View the rest of this article

3 mis-conceptions in learning Mandarin

2008-01-06T03:30:00.001-08:00

To learn a new language is always rewarding. I have met people who speak 5 or more languages! I would think they don't have time for other things except learning new languages one after another one. But amazingly, all of them have other more focused careers, like sales and marketing, architect, researcher, etc. Learning actually accelarated their careers!

More and more people start taking Mandarin lessons. So many people approached me and asked,"I want to speak Mandarin as fast as possible. I want to have conversations with Chinese people. "

This goal is very attainable as long as you are aware of these 3 mis-conceptions:

Mauritius Vacation Guide

2008-01-05T21:05:00.001-08:00

Mauritius has successfully managed to position itself as an exotic beach destination. With beach destinations so plentiful, this has been sustained not by mere hype, but by the substance there is to this claim. Visitors are drawn to Mauritius by the reputation of its 140 km of white sand beaches, and the superb opportunities for water sports. Swimming, beach combing, sailing, surfing, kayaking, diving and deep-sea fishing - there is a sport for almost everyone.

Defend Your Dog And Stop That Hurting Paw!

2008-01-05T08:05:00.001-08:00

Of course, we humans use shoes to protect our feet. We insist on it! But dogs usually don't have that luxury, and routinely walk over ice, rock, grass, cement and soil on their bare paws. Their paws' thick pads give them protection we don't have, and that's why they're less susceptible to cuts and grazes. But this doesn't mean a dog's paws are indestructible. In fact, the areas between the pads are very sensitive and can suffer from cuts, burns, and other ailments.
One of the clues to a paw problem is when your dog comes back limping or favoring only one of its legs. The only way for you to narrow down the issue is to check his paw for any visible and physical signs of bleeding, swelling, redness or blisters.
Some dogs are very protective of their paws and do View the rest of this article

A NO B.S. Explanation of Spread Betting For Newbies

2008-01-05T03:25:00.001-08:00

Note: The goal of this article is to give you the basic idea and an overview of what index betting. It is not meant to be a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the game.
Index betting, otherwise referred as Spread Betting is a bet type, where you are rewarded by the degree, in which you are correct in selecting a winner of a sporting event. The amount you stand to either win or lose is not fixed, and therefore, with index betting, you never really know just how much money you will win (or lose), until after the event is over, or until you have 'closed out' your bet.
Now straight up, I must say, that this form of betting appeals only to certain types of punters, because this can be a volatile type of investment. If the game or match doesn't go as plann View the rest of this article

Mountain Dirt Bikes

2008-01-04T10:35:00.001-08:00

What are mountain dirt bikes?
Mountain dirt bikes are basically dirt bikes for use in climbing and descending rocky and grassy mountains. They can be motor or peddle models and it is up to you which you go for. The motor versions are quite different in design and look to other dirt bikes because of the use they are designed and built specifically for.
How do mountain dirt bikes differ from other dirt bikes?
Specifically, the frame is a lot higher than on a standard dirt bike in order that you get more ground clearance; the extra ground clearance will help you avoid mud build-ups, rocks and other such debris when traversing a mountain or hill. The frames themselves are also much more sturdy so if you do happen to clip a rock or something similar they are u View the rest of this article

Odds Comparison Increasing Your Winnings

After being in sports betting for about 23 years you have come to see many things such as a hairy chimpanzee putting down the winner for a horse race 10 times in a row, leaving me with a severe insomnia problem. I have also experienced the amazing growth of the internet and especially seen the difference it made to the sports betting community.

When I started out on my sports betting journey in the beginning of the 80s my father took me to the local bookmaker/pub The Winning Post. This became the centre of my life for a year or so until I by accident saw that the odds for some races and games were very much different at a different bookmaker in the neighbouring town. I saw that I could make up to 30-40% more on my winnings on some games, so I View the rest of this article

Training Traditional Martial Arts

All to often traditional martial arts and those who practice these ancient arts are considered dreamers, fools or historical mummies because we are training arts that flourished 400 or more years ago. These people can not understand the reasons why we study archaic weapons like sword, bow, spear, halberd, etc? Their n?1 line is " you can never walk on the street with these weapons" But that is not all. Traditional kata training is considered foolish , a waste of time not realistic??..

Writer School?

Copyright 2004, Michael LaRocca

Here's something from my mailbag. "Dear Michael, do you need to

do good in school if you want to be a writer? I stink at school

and all my friends laugh at me when I tell them I want to write,

but I'm serious." Followed by a sentence or two of "I need your

words to encourage me" or some such nonsense.

Fortunately, a writing sample is rarely attached. If it is,

either it's excellent or it stinks like rancid yak butter.

There's a lot of middle ground in the writing world, of course,

The Truth About Halitosis, More Commonly Known As Bad Breath

2008-01-02T22:30:00.001-08:00

PART I: THE SCIENCE OF HALITOSIS AND BACTERIA IN YOUR MOUTH
Halitosis, also more commonly known as bad breath, is caused by anaerobic producing bacteria which normally live WITHIN the surface of the tongue and in the throat. These bacteria are supposed to be there because they assist with digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or "broken-down" oral tissue. Under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate. Proteins are made up of amino acids, two of which (Cysteine and Methionine) are dense with sulfur.
When the "beneficial" bacteria come into contact with these amino acids, the halitosis and "lousy-tasting" sulfur compounds are released from t View the rest of this article
