Gas Mileage Lies
On morning news there was a sniped about a lady who sued Honda for misrepresentation of their gas mileage. It was in small claims court, but still won $10,000. Interesting! It has become pretty much accepted, by all of us, what the sticker gas mileage would be under ideal condition. I am glad someone has stepped up to say, "We are not going to take it anymore!" When I look at different makes...
Touch Screen Desktop Computers
I first saw touch screens computers in the food processing industry back in the late 90's. Since then the technology and the price has been slowly been dropping. As a result we now see more cell phones with touch screens than without. The overall adoption of a touch screen desktop computer has been slow mostly because of the cost. We are seeing the price going under the $1,000 mark. This makes ...
Social Responsible Buying
Last week the name Foxconn and Apple were in all the headlines. It was not about great profits, or some new electronic gadget. It was about the inhumane treatment of the workers in China. What is interesting to note is that Foxconn does not just manufacture electronics for Apple. Foxconn manufacture over 50% of the electronics sold in the United States. Mistreatment of works or labors misbeh...
Secrets of Shopping Wal Mart
Midday on any Saturday or Sunday, at Wal Mart, finds families and couples getting their weekly shopping done. We are at the end of January. People are starting to recover from the Christmas shopping madness. Walking we were greeted by a your 60 oriental lady. I think it is great that Wal Mart seek to find jobs for elderly on fixed incomes. After a quick stop by the cosmetic section for some...
Search for a Practical Usable Tablet
Since before Thanksgiving I have been slowing giving into the idea of getting a tablet. I have looked at all the major brands of tablets and eReaders. I have been trying to imagine how often I would use it. I watch how other people would use their tablets. While attending a local trade show I noticed a large majority of the vendors were using iPads. There were only a few who had other tablets....
Cruise or Not to Cruise
Here we are at the end of January 2012. Texas is getting heavy rains. Snow and Cold is covering most all of the northern hemisphere. I close my eyes and think of a hot summer day with the sun beating down on may face. Then in an instant, I jump into a nice cool swimming pool. Yes, what better time to plan a summer vacation than when the chilling cold is biting your bones, and the sky is all gloomy...
When Not to File an Insurance Claim
Have you been in an auto accident or had water damage from the washing machine over flowing? Then got on the phone calling your insurance company for a claim that was only for a few hundred dollars. Did you know you do not have to file an insurance claim every time you are eligible to file. If you read your insurance policy carefully, you will find you will be penalized if you file ...
Groupon Coupon Yollar Crazy
I a generally stay away from the whole cutting of coupons. The putting them into an organized folder, and taking this big folder to the grocery store. In addition I get frustrated when I have to look for the brand and size of soda matches my coupon. The few time I did take coupons, I found myself spending about the same amount of money, while getting stuff I would not normally get. It is one ...
Tax Season Cometh
From the end of January to April 15th is the traditional season for getting our taxes done.  Some of us procrastinate so much we have to file an extension with the IRS. Accountants, bookkeepers, and those who do tax preparation are busy. In the grand scheme of things we need to pay taxes to we can get services from our government like fire, police, and military. Still we do not need to pay more t...

Shopping for a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on June 29, 2011 in Automotive - Comments: 3 Comments »

The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is not a bicycle. You will have to put gasoline in the tank, but you won’t have to be in shape to peddle 10 miles back and forth to work.

The Chevrolet Malibu was named after the city in California (Malibu, California). The early beginnings of the Malibu began with the Chevrolet Chevelle. It came to its own model in 1978 as a rear wheel drive intermediate mid size car. It was in 1997 that GM revived the Malibu name as a front wheel drive car.

Today, 2011 Chevrolet Malibu remains a popular, as a  well equipped midsize family sedan. It’s starting to lag behind stronger leaders. Reports have it there is going to be a vast changes in the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.

Emergency Kits (Part 2)

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on March 18, 2011 in Automotive, Budget, Food, Medicine, Travel - Comments: Comments Off

Yesterday, I wrote about Shopping for Emergency Kits. When I finished I felt that I had done a very incomplete job in covering the subject. So, today, I have added a part 2. Because the you can specialize emergency kits for cars, trains, work, buses, and home, I do not expect this will be the last.

In today’s post I want to cover emergency kits for cars. It is while we are driving about that we run the largest chance of being in or coming upon some emergency situation.

Quite a few years ago, there was the Kim Family headed north out of the San Francisco Bay area into Oregon for a family road trip for Thanksgiving back in 2006. Through a series of wrong turns they ended lost and stuck in the snow for nine days. They survived by taking what they have and using it to their best advantage.

Shopping for a Ford Taurus

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on February 9, 2011 in Automotive - Comments: Comments Off

The Ford Taurus is most likely one of the most enduring cars in the Ford line up. Originally introduced in the 1986 model year. The Ford Taurus has been in almost continuous production for more than 20 years. It was in back in 2004 the Ford Taurus made its debut on the NASCAR circuit  in the 2004 Daytona 500. Today, we are in the 6th generation of redesign.

Under the hood is a 3.5 liter V6 with two engine packages. The 24-valve DOHC Duratec V6 produces 263 horsepower. While the 24-valve DOHC Duratec V6 put out a whopping 365 horsepower. Both trims deliver power to the wheels by a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive.

TV Commercials – What Good Are They?

Posted By: TSN Boise on February 18, 2010 in Bargin Places, Business, Home - Comments: Comments Off

TV Commercials are one of those loud neighbors that you wish would just move away, because they serve no useful purpose.

Back in ancient history when everyone got their television through rabbit ears or rooftop antennas, the television stations got money for programs by selling advertising in the form of commercials. This I could understand. Today, when many of us pay a cable or satellite, this makes us paying two times to watch the same program.

It has often been know that the volume of the typical television commercial is louder than the current episode of NCIS. That is so you will hear some fast talking smiling individual sell you a car. Did you know that there is a bill before the US Congress to force TV commercials volume to be no louder than the TV show itself?
