New Frames Have Arrived At Zenni Optical


These are some testing times for America with a looming recession. In these tough times we need to save, cut down on our extrvaganze. It is good to see new products like ZenniOptical.Com roviding a low cost high quality product to America. No wonder people are loving it. Read on this link about folks who bought Zenni eyeglasses online and were more than satisfied not just because of the prices but because of the quality as well. Many people have commented that their eyeglasses price used to be around $300-$350, at Zenni they could buy for $50-$70. Importantly these guys are satisfiede with the quality and the choice they had while choosing the glasses. The basic eyeglasses price range starts at $8, $9.95, $12.95, $15.95, $19 etc. The variety of frames and dimensions is any day better than any real-physical store I've seen in my life. It is quite understandable since it is a website which sells products in whole of America and hence maintains a wide range of product. And because they sell in huge volumes they can afford to have lower margins. People are happy to get this range to choose from at one place at amazing price. Add ons include ; AR = Anti Reflective and Anti Radiation coating ONLY $4.95 Sunglass Tint = $4.95. If you have visited the site before check the New Arrival section for new frames that were not present in your last visit. Or you could use the search option to search for the right eyglass that you chose earlier and forgot to bookmark it. If you happen to have any question Zenni provides a 1-800 number to call them and prefer this for any quick question resolution you are looking for. Also their is an email address and a contact form which you can use to provide to Zenni for their product or website. Keep this website in mind next time you need to purchase eyeglasses for you or your family. Shipping charges are a flat $4.95 for however many glasses you order !
All the details provided here are as of October 7th, 2008, for confirmation or current details please visit the website ZenniOptical.Com

Hypermiling - Meaning and More Info

Hypermilling is a term used to maximize fuel efficiency. The intention and idea is noble but the ways in which hypermilling is done typically involves some dangerous techniques and thus does not really enjoy a widespread support and attention. Suggestions like keeping tyres pressure at correct levels, reducing unnecessary weight from vehicle and walking if its feasible, are some of the acceptable techniawues. While some other techniques like, not stopping at a low traffic stop sign etc are some of the dangerous and less popular ways.

kelsey peterson - Sentencing right ?

Former teacher of Lexington, Nebraska, has been sentenced for 6 years in prison, who last year fled to Mexico with a 13-year-old boy. Peterson, 26, earlier this summer pleaded guilty to federal charges of traveling with a person younger than 18 to have sex.

In handing down her sentence, U.S. District Judge Smith Camp said she does not consider Peterson a "sexual predator." Instead, the judge said Petersons maturity factor "seems to be on the level of a junior high school student."

WebHostingRating.com

Many of us have experience of getting stuck with a particular web hosting solution provider. I was in such a hurry to implement my website that I didn't really ask around for a good webhosting solution provider (yes there is such a thing). There are different features that a website hosting solution provider can support, things like mod_write. place i got my website hosted didn't support mod_write. mod_write is useful for SEO and the reply i got from hosting folks was "we don't customize our configuration for a few people", there you go. my website required a mysql database with it. the way database tables got written prevented me from switching to any other provider.

So moral of my experience is look around before you choose your web hosting solution provider. and i suggest you to go to web hosting rating. This site has an Independent customer rating of top 10 web hosting companies. The host rating system is based on the customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and techical support - all very important !
The article section has amazingly useful information, for example check this article on ecommerce website and do's and don'ts of creating one.

Pickens Plan

T. Boone Pickens has come up with a new strategic plan to prepare America with the single biggest crisis facing America today - dependence on foreign oil. US today imports $700Billion worth of oil every year. Mr. Pickens has worked in oil and gas industry for six decades now.

Our dependence on imported oil is killing our economy. It is the single biggest problem facing America today, Pickens said. As we import more and more of our energy, we are participating in the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind, sending billions of our dollars overseas to buy oil for a commodity that lasts 90 days until burned in our gas tanks.

This has to stop and it has to stop now before we get to a place where no actions can make a difference. Crisis means danger and opportunity. We know the danger but now we have the opportunity to do something that we should have done 30 40 years ago. Sometimes it takes a crisis to awaken us from our slumber but once aroused the American people can accomplish miracles.

The plan I am unveiling today is doable in 5 - 10 years if we can get Congress and the Administration to act quickly. It is based on domestic resources and its clean. This plan provides a bridge to the future where renewable energy can become an even greater portion of our energy framework.

My plan addresses the rapidly expanding imbalance between decreasing supply and increasing demand for oil from fast growing countries around the world like China and India. Today, the U.S. imports a quarter of the worlds oil production with just four percent of the worlds population and just three percent of the worlds reserves. This is not sustainable, certainly not at todays prices. Conservation alone will not solve our dependence on foreign oil, but it is part of the mix. Our country has a crisis that we can solve by working together and by acting quickly and decisively. We must take strong and bold steps and challenge all of our leaders in this election year to get on board to truly change the landscape today for a better tomorrow.

There is a Facebook Page, Myspace Page, Twitter and a Youtube channel as part of publicity offensive fro the plan.

Definition : Prime Numbers

For understanding Prime numbers you first have to understand what are "factors".
Factors are numbers which when multiplied together gives the result as the number of which they are factors of. Example, 2 & 3 are factors of 6 because when 2 & 3 are multiplied together, it gives 6. Another example, 3 & 7 are factors of 21 because 3 times 7 gives 21.
Number 1 is factor of every number. Why ? because every number when multiplied by 1 will give that number itself, so going by the definition, 1 is always factor of all the numbers.
Now coming back to prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers, which have no factor other than 1 and itself. Example, what are factors of number 7 ? only 7 and 1, hence number 7 is a prime number. Another example, what are factors of number 13 ? only 13 and 1, hence number 13 is a prime number. To learn more about, find books on prime numbers.

New Years Resolutions... or NOT?

Following is the New Year Resolution Meme, Suggested to me by SpeedyCat. If you wish to be a part of the meme, copy the portion of post starting from *Start Copy Here* All the way up to *End Copy Here* and publish it after adding a small portion of your own resolution, which I have done here. This can bring in some good traffic, bookmarks and links to your blog ... and most importantly sounds fun ! So here goes,

*Start Copy Here*
When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them. So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Copy from “*Start Copy Here*” through “*End Copy Here*” and post it. Before "*End Copy Here*" tell us who you are, your site(s) (with link) and your New Year’s Resolution, or not.
Then tag as many others as you like, from one to your entire blogroll, your choice.
If you like, create an intro paragraph to your post that also acknowledges who tagged you.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS:
Scotty - HOT USA Trends Today - Try to create value for people from my blog. Traffic, Earnings the secondary objectives will follow.
Juliana – Juliana's Site - My New Year's resolutions are looking for a part time job, keep blogging, and learn to cook and bake.
Michelle - Rusin Roundup - 1. Learn to be happier and accept myself for who I am, 2. Is to lose about 25 lbs., and 3. Is to stop smoking.
Karen - Grow Rich Along With Me - My resolution for next year is to achieve $3K per month passive income by the end of 2008.
Mel - Attitude, the Ultimate Power & Complain Complain Complain - “I don’t need no stinking resolutions.” I never hold to them anyway so why frustrate myself by starting them now.
Sandee - Comedy Plus - I don't need no stinking resolutions either. Years and years ago I did them because everyone else did, but not once did I follow through. Why set yourself up for failure?
Lynda - lynda's loft - My resolution is to see resolve to that which needs resolution. Like Mel and Sandee, I feel that resolutions give us more stress, however, being a person who sets goals each year, isn't that the same thing as a resolution??? Goals vs. resolutions? Goals are more general and allow for more time to complete them, a resolution requires a mind-set and immediate action, which is not always feasible... Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it...
Max - MAX - My New Year's resolutions are to dedicate more time to my friends; to finally be able to read "Der Spiegel" in German; to be calm when organizing my marriage; to go one last time to my favourite club and dance the night away; and continue to be happy!
Eric - Speedcat Hollydale - I love chicken. Problem is that I really never get to have enough chicken! My New Year's resolution is to enact "Chicken Tuesday". On this day I will eat only chicken, blog about chicken, and promote chickens all over the world. (hormone free) Join me, won't you?
Marzie - Mariuca & Mariuca's Perfume Gallery - My resolution for 2008 is to enjoy a healthier lifestyle and to expand my Perfume Collection.
Sindi- Life Is A Roller Coaster - My resolution is to complain less, pray more and be a little more thankful for what I have.
Adrian - First Time Dad - My New Year’s Resolution for 2008 is to be a better father…now I don’t usually make New Year's resolutions because I never keep them but this one I better keep! Happy New Year to one and all!
Colin - Life - New Years Resolution? No way...Better to achieve more throughout the year rather than pander to the whims of a one day 'wishful thought'
Mauro - 1 Million Love Messages - My resolution for next year are: 1. Change my job (maybe work online). I'm really unhappy in the actual one. 2. Dedicate more time to my family and girlfriend... maybe start to get ready for our wedding :-) 3. Work hard in 1 Million Love Messages and reach 2500 Love messages (or more) in the end of 2008.
MidgetManOfSteel - Mental Poo - To get out of dealing with people who I have no desire in helping at the job I’m doing…catch the eye of someone who can see that I can write and be funny…and get my own ticket to happiness from my humor….and a Ferrari. While I’m doing this, I resolve to get a Ferrari.
Stacy - My Thoughts - My New Year’s Resolution for 2008 - Is to be more understanding to my children and to other people, Not to curse at others while I am driving, try to eat right and exercise, try to volunteer in my community, and to believe more in my spiritual side.
Jason - DatCurious.com & DatMoney.com - Although, I normally don't do New Year's Resolutions (because I find it as an excuse to actually do something I should've already been doing), this year I will plan on giving back to the blogging community, especially my audience. I'm not sure how I will do it yet, but I definitely will.
Kesa - Little Aussie Cynic - My New Years Resolution is the standard..... to finally get off the smokes and to loose 8kg.... both which are possible just difficult.....Happy New Year to you and yours….Aussie
Ann - A Nice Place in the Sun - "To let the rest of my life begin as soon as possible."
