A new study by Edmunds.Com finds that some hybrid cars will pay for themselves in 2 years, because high gas prices and tax credits from the U.S. government on the more fuel efficient vehicles. The cost is even more quickly recovered when hybrids are compared to less efficient cars. Also, the study assumes that gas prices will remain at $3 per gallon in the coming years. Edmunds says the average hybrid car costs $1,200 and $7,000 more than traditional versions of the same vehicles. The shift is significant because analysts have said that higher sticker prices were constraining hybrid sales. Hybrids currently account for 1 percent of new car sales in the United States. The consumer-focused Web site said that assuming vehicles were driven 15,000 miles per year and gas was priced at $3 per gallon, owners of the Toyota Prius and Ford Motor's Escape Hybrid would break even within three years.

Cloth-bound, gilt-edged and printed on matte paper, the new book called Horse Play tells the story of S treethorsing —the sport of riding horses in cities—with the highest of production values. Whether or not the obscure subculture actually exists, the tome is filled with unbelievable photos of horses doing skateboard-like tricks off railings and over barriers (challenging pro photoshop-spotters) and interspersed with snaps of minor celebs (who also happen to be spokespeople for the book's sponsor, WESC), like Jerry Hsu, Steve Aoki, Mark "Cobrasnake" Hunter, Stretch Armstrong, and Jason Lee.

So today I finally cancelled the robbery that is ATT dsl or some of you know it as sbc yahoo dsl. See the thing is that they have this lame ass policy of f'ing you after your 12 month contract is up they auto jack up the price to roughly $50/month. Imagine that going from $15/month to $50, not sure about you but thats just lame ass business. So of course I went with a way way way better provider in SONIC.NET they gave me a bitching deal of $12 bucks a month as I previously posted. The best part was when ATT asked me if I would stay with them if they dropped the price to $15/month then I got to tell them that I got a deal for $12/month and they can shove off.

I loved the band FEAR, unfortunately I didn't realize they were right about everything .
