you know your a Republican if you believe...

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

    Since most of the times, people turn the tap on and turn a blind eye to the amount of water wasted, Israeli designer Ariel Drach has designed the Bware Water Meter to keep a tab on water consumption. This tiny meter can be fitted on to any taps, showers, pipes to count the amount of water utilized. Thread it up to the threading on the device or pipe and watch the figures displayed to get a clear picture about water abuse. Made out of recycled ABS, such an eco-friendly water saving kit helps us to be value the most valued natural resource. Powered by the water stream, it eliminates the need of grid connection too. The Bware advance kit will include Wi-Fi connection and log software, making it easier to trace the water usage.

    Adam Fuller’s Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Is Big Idea

    Adam Fuller’s Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Is Big Idea

    t to be confused with

    Adam Fuller Vertical Wind TurbineAdam Fuller of Racine, Wisconsin (noSimon Fuller of American Idol) has a Big Idea. While other inventors have been dabbling in the idea of small vertical wind turbines for home use, Fuller has been developing a large utility scale vertical wind turbine with a very unique design.

    Upon first glance of Fuller’s vertical axis wind turbine one can see that it is different than the three blades horizontal utility scale wind generators to which we have been accustomed. One can also see that this machine is unique even among other vertical axis wind turbines.

    The structure (picture left) that Fuller has built is approximately 12 ft. wide by 36 ft. tall and features 8 rows of 4 scoop units revolving around a single axel. As one can see the design is bird friendly since birds can actually see this turbine rather than the swift blades of a horizontal design.

    PLAY MORE. IT WILL BE VERY GOOD FOR YOU

    The Serious Need for Play

    Free, imaginative play is crucial for normal social, emotional and cognitive development. It makes us better adjusted, smarter and less stressed

    One study found that kids who played with blocks scored higher on language tests than kids who had no blocks. Perhaps the children with blocks simply spent less time on unproductive activities such as watching TV--but the end result was good for them in any case.

    Key Concepts

  • Childhood play is crucial for social, emotional and cognitive ­development.
  • Imaginative and rambunctious “free play,” as opposed to games or structured activities, is the most essential type.
  • Kids and animals that do not play when they are young may grow into anxious, socially maladjusted adults.
  • Freedom Counts
