Student money

When a student needs money for something he usually goes to his parents for money. now if there like my parents they will be hard-asse's and not shell out for something important like a laptop or PS3. This annoys most of the student population because after being told that they may have no money for the item accompanying that statement is something along the lines of this: "If you want to buy something like that then get a job you lazy bum". This makes teens uneasy because most teens havent had to work for anything in there lives up until this point making it a scary time for a spoiled teen. Now though there are ways to get around the "scary" fact of honest work. There is a new form of payment form young teens called loan easy, the place loans money to broke teens then charges incredible intrest with which the teens could never pay off by themselves. Of coarse the teens will try to hide the debt from there parents at first but eventually the debt will be so high that the teens will be forced to ask for help from there parents. At first the adults will be in shock from what there son/daughter has done but as they cool off they beging to realize that there son/daughter will have to get a job to pay the parents back which in the end learns the teen respect for there money and how to appreaciate honest work in everyday life.

The Effects of Coffee and caffine infused drinks

Coffee it is one of the neccesities in a normal persons life, It gives us a mental boost But is it worth it? Over the years many experts have done reseach on the issue of coffee, what it can do after years of drinking as well as what it does to your wallet. Depending on where you buy your coffee from drinking coffee daily can become very expensive as well as get your body addicted to another type of drug called CAFFINE! Recent test's performed by a small reasearch company based in south California in the United States revealled that the daily drinking of drinks such as coffee and sugar based drinks develop a addiction to the drug called caffine which you can find in coffee and suger filled drinks such as coca-cola or pepsi. This drug when ingested gives our bodys a sudden burst of energy but it only lasts for a limited time meaning that when we are addicted we need another after another drink barley filling our need to feast on this caffine drug. When we think of drinks that are supposed to give us a boost of energy we think of energy drinks such as Monster Energy or Red bull we would never think that the normal soda and coffee we drink use the same indgrediants as these supposed Energy drinks, but in the end it is just a marketing ploy to squeeze the perverbial wallet of the people they are monetaraly harrasing everyday. Is it really worth it to drink a coffee every day, you be the judge.

playstation network security

Over the past couple of weeks the play station network has been down not allowing the play station owners the ability to go online and play. Apparently the network was hacked by some faceless hackers wishing to inflict damage on the system network because if you may not know the play station network accounts for the biggest amount of income to Sony, from the system besides actual purchase of the play station machine. The big debate of the moment is that the security is completely unsecured and that people were unsure if they wanted to keep playing their ps3's and instead looking into buying a xbox 360. there are many theories about how completed the hack, the biggest theory is that the hackers were commissioned by Microsoft (the makers of the xbox 360 for those of you who don't know) to try and put there business rivals out of work and in turn leave xbox the only online system running. But in my opinion it was a good thing that the ps3 network has been hacked and shut down. It is going to show to the ps3 owners that you cannot just have a free online network without having certain quality issues, did you know that for one play station network technician xbox live has 4 technicians. That makes such a huge difference in quality it is not even funny the fact that play station has tried to cover it up with new company statements saying that the security is being looked in to is completely hilarious. If you have to remind your online gaming network about security before they look into it themselves it is pathetic.

To finish this off i am going to say that the only reason that the play station 3 is bought is because people think they are getting a deal because it is both a game system and a blu-ray player, but in the end real gamers don't buy a system to get a deal they buy the system to play some freakin sweet games and for that the only choice is obvious buy a xbox 360
not a ps3.

the g20 Summit

last year toronto was the host for a event so huge the event commishers had to call in the military to protect the majour leaders of the different countries attending the G20,G8 events. During previous G8 and G20 events in other parts of the world there has mass rioting and entire citys rising up against the events happening in there city. But in toronto the g20 leaders thought that a peacefull place such as toronto But whoa were they wrong. During the events toronto experienced uproar with police vehicles being burned, windows smashed and worst of all a make shift prison where arrested rioters were detained in horrible conditions that were just plain unspeakable. The main reason for the violent clashes with police was due to the group of anarcists the black block. Here are some of the disturbing photos taken at the summit protest As you can see very powerfull stuff the pictures came out kind of wonky if you would like to see the pictures more clearly please go to this link: http://www.ctv.ca/gallery/html/g8-g20-toronto-violent-protests-20100626/index_.html and that is what i said.

Street racing In Japan

In japan 25% of all of the cars that are used everyday are used to compete in illeagal street racing on the streets and highways on downtown tokyo japan. of the 25% of all cars that compete in these races nearly all of the drivers are between the ages of 19 and 28, do you think that this is just coincidince or just plain fact that the youth drivers of tokyo have a disregard for vehicle regulations and speed limits drifting around corners and driving up to three times the posted speed limit on small roads through the downtown core. Now being that people from other cultures and parts of the world tend to emulate other cultures to make them seem cooler or more popular but drifting as the japenese call it is a spreading phenomenon through the far reachs of the world using technologys such as Youtube and google video, which makes it easy to get hold of videos of cars drifting and sliding around corners.


In the united states and australia they have professinal teams and demonstrators that preform drifting for gigantic crowds making a huge profit for the event organizers and the teams aswell. Here is a couple videos of drift teams around the world:

The Toronto Auto Show

This last sunday i had the oppourtunity to visit the toronto auto show. The only thing is that my uncle works for a transportation company so i got to see the behind the scenes action that goes on before the general public gets the opportunity to see the automotive greatness which is the toronto auto show. While i was there i had the chance to talk to some people that have been working with the show for almost 10 years. From what they had to say i got the impression that the auto show is a great way for the auto buying public to see what the auto market is like right now. From the moment the promoters start promoting the shows coordinators start to hire transport companies such as my uncles company to bring in the mass amounts of cars into the huge amount of space the metro toronto convention center has to offer. i have to say though for the size of the Center it looks tiny inside when all of the cars, sets, lights,stages and food providers get into the building. When i was helping my uncle load some cars onto one of there car transporters i got the chance to drive a $150 000 car, it was a brand new aston martin DBS. the car had so much power to give one touch on the accelarator gave a sudden burst of acceleration which was acxilirating. over all my impression of the Toronto Auto Show was over the top and amazing. If you wish to see the auto show for yourself check the link for ticket information and web links.
