Pro-Form Home Treadmills

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

There is no better way to stay in shape then regular walking, jogging, or running. I always feel fit, and incredibly refreshed after giving my legs a good workout. The only problem is that during the winter months I tend to not go outside as much because of the cold. I really wanted to keep running but could not deal with the extreme temperatures. I finally decided to buy a treadmill so I could enjoy the health benefits of the outdoors from my climate controlled house.
After a lengthy search online I found a fantastic site for home treadmills. Pro-Form has some of the best exercise equipment available at unbeatable prices. Whether you are looking to bring a little more climate control or privacy to your workouts check out Pro-Form today!

Fun Games For Economists

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Well maybe games designed for economists are not for everyone, but I am an economist and I absolutely love playing games online that require knowledge of economics. There have been a wide range of educational games made to supplement economics lessons. A great source for these games is Econ Ed Link, although not every single thing is an econ game by searching the site it is possible to find some. My favorite game is Jack & The Bean Stock which tests young economists knowledge of free trade.

The games are simple and sometimes have very poor designs, but they where not designed for profit. Some economics teacher somewhere poured a lot of hard work into making learning economics a little more fun.

The Coffee Brewers Espresso Machines

Friday, April 11th, 2008

For the longest time I had never tried an espresso, they always looked too fancy for me as I usually enjoy fairly simple tastes. Finally my girlfriend made me have one when we went to Starbucks and I was blown away by the taste. After that I was a full time espresso addict. I have been thinking about purchasing my own machine for awhile, but all the machines I saw in stores were so expensive. Finally a friend recommended I should look for espresso machines online. After trying a couple sites I came across a great online store for espresso machines. They have top of the line machines at affordable prices. I can’t wait (literally, I am dying for an espresso) until my machine arrives!

Absolut Ad A Hit In Mexico, Causes Outrage In The United States

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

absolut_mexican_ad
Swedish vodka manufacture Absolut Vodka has released a new advertisement in Mexico that has some people North of the border feeling a little agitated. Mexican have a good knowledge of their history and patriotic feelings about the Mexican American war and land sales that saw the country lose control of California, Colorado, and Arizona, as well as Texas which defected to the United States. The ad shows what Mexico would look like in an Absolut world. Naturally the Americans who see the ad are more then a little offended. The number of offended continues to rise with the LA times publishing the advertisement on their website. Its certainly a big risk on Absolut’s part, and although it seems to have paid off in Meixco only time will tell on whether or not the ad receives much exposure in the United States, something that would surely damage the companies sales.
