4 IMPORTANT TIPS ON PUMPING GAS (Good information)
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $3 . 50 per gallon . But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon..
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline . One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades . We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons .
1.Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold . Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground . The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon . In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.! A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business . But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps .
2.When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode . If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high . In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping . All hoses at the pump have a vapor return . If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor . Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money .
3.One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL . The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space . Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine . Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof . This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation . Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount
4.Finally, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom .
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money . DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!.

Don’t discount Gore-led ticket Oh my!
“If it (the nomination process) goes into the convention, don’t be surprised if someone different is at the top of the ticket,” Mahoney said.
A compromise candidate could be someone such as former vice president Al Gore, Mahoney said last week during a meeting with this news organization’s editorial board.
If either Clinton or Obama suggested to a deadlocked convention a ticket of Gore-Clinton or Gore-Obama, the Democratic Party would accept it, Mahoney said.
I don't see how either of them would accept that.

My new toy
I have been wanting one for a while now (thanks to Gary).I found this 2002 Suzuki Gz 250 on Craigslist for a good price. All ready I want a bigger bike but this one is still a lot of fun. Cheap full coverage insurance and 60 mpg is a big bonus. I'll have to shoot some ride video some time.

How to bit torrent for Zack
First thing is you will need the software. try this one first bitcomet
if you dont like that one try this one. bittornado
you will have to install those but after that you just need to know what sites to hit.

If you do search for a different site Watch out for lame ass pop up torrent sites you can get nasties from them (spyware,maleware).So I suggest you use Firefox browser its way better than internet explorer you can get it here Firefox owns all You may get slow D/l speeds in that case you'll need to forward your port it's not hard but seems so if you have never done it.If You need anymore help just ask. And if you would like to understand it better read this wikipedia.org
