Deep Breathing In Fairburn: Engine Air Filter ? Gowen's Automotive ...

Deep Breathing In Fairburn Engine Air Filter

Your SUV engine really needs clean air to operate efficiently: it takes about twelve thousand gallons of air to burn a gallon of gas in your SUV engine. And clean air is much better than dirty.

When your air filter?s dirty, it simply can?t trap any more dirt, so the dirt just passes through into your air intake system. From there it can get into the SUV engine combustion chamber. And burning dust and pollen in your engine as you drive around Fairburn does you no good.

The verdict: When your engine air filter needs to be replaced; it needs to be replaced.
How often depends entirely on how dirty the air is in Fairburn where you drive. A simple visual inspection by a friendly Gowen?s Automotive Repairs technician will tell you when you need a new engine air filter in your SUV.

When you look at the air filter on your furnace in your Fairburn home and see it?s all clogged up with dust and dirt, you don?t hesitate to replace it. But don?t wait until your air filter (furnace or automobile) is totally plugged ? by that time you?ve been running inefficiently in Fairburn for a lot of miles.

When your Gowen?s Automotive Repairs service technician brings out your nasty engine air filter, you now know why you should go ahead and change it out.

European leaders' breakthrough defied expectations

BRUSSELS (AP) ? Europe's leaders finally rose to the challenge Friday, backing bold ideas to help weak countries and frail banks ravaged by a debt crisis that has crippled economic growth and threatened the global financial system.

Markets roared their approval after leaders of the 27 European Union countries agreed on an aggressive plan to fix the financial crisis.

For the first time in 19 summits since the start of the crisis, the EU leaders declared they would:

? Centralize regulation of European banks and, if necessary, bail them out directly, instead of funneling loans through governments that already have too much debt.

? Ease borrowing costs on Italy and Spain, the euro region's third- and fourth-largest economies.

? Stop mandating painful budget cuts to every country in need of emergency financial aid.

?Tie their budgets, currency and governments more tightly.

The decisions made at the EU summit in Brussels won't end the crisis that has gripped Europe for nearly three years. Plenty of questions remain about how the bank bailouts would work, whether there's enough money committed to rescue banks and governments and whether impoverished, indebted Greece will be forced out of the 17-nation euro club.

But for EU leaders who have consistently underwhelmed their exasperated publics and nervous financial markets, Friday's efforts marked a breakthrough.

The prime minister of Ireland ? one of the five eurozone countries that have required emergency funds ? said the plans marked a "seismic shift in European policy." British Prime Minister David Cameron said that "for the first time in some time we have actually seen steps ... to get ahead of the game."

There was an immediate sign that Europe's latest plan was easing fear in financial markets: The cost for the troubled government of Spain to borrow fell dramatically. The interest rate, or yield, on the country's 10-year bonds fell by more than half a percentage point, to 6.34 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average recorded its second-biggest gain of the year, and stocks advanced even further in Europe ? in strong and weak countries alike. The benchmark stock index in Germany rose 4.3 percent, by far its best performance this year. Germany has the biggest economy in Europe, and a warm reaction there was a crucial sign of approval for the plan. Prices for oil and other commodities shot higher, another sign that the plan may remove a big barrier to a healthier economy.

At first it looked like the summit would produce little more than a modest plan to stimulate growth in Europe. But Italy and Spain, whose borrowing costs have soared to dangerous levels, refused to sign off on the $150 billion spending plan unless something was done to ease their financial burdens.

After an all-night standoff, the leaders agreed to expand the use of Europe's bailout funds ? and do so without imposing strict austerity measures on countries that are meeting existing pledges to control spending. The bailout money could be used to buy bonds to drive down a country's borrowing costs. Or it could be loaned directly to troubled banks, which EU leaders said would help break "the vicious cycle" in which weak banks and weak governments threaten to drag each other down.

Previously, European leaders insisted that the two bailout funds be used only to rescue governments ? like Ireland, Portugal and Greece. If money was going to be used for troubled banks, it had to first go to a government. But that added to the debt on a government's books because it was responsible for repaying the money.

The bids to rescue banks ended up raising fears about the ailing governments; Spain's borrowing costs rose dramatically two weeks ago after the eurozone countries agreed to lend it $125 billion to rescue its banks.

The EU also called for a single regulator ? probably the European Central Bank ? to oversee Europe's banks. Currently, banks are regulated by their national governments and some countries have been slow to recognize loan problems and shut down their worst banks.

As part of a broad "banking union," the new regulator will likely get power to close failing banks if their national regulators won't do it. The plan is also expected to include deposit insurance across Europe. Individual European countries now insure bank deposits within their borders. But bank failures could overwhelm those national funds.

The bank overhaul is supposed to be completed by the end of the year.

The leaders said they were committed to linking their countries closer together economically and politically, but didn't discuss how. Such integration would likely require countries to give up some of their taxing and spending powers to a European budget authority.

Most analysts cheered the EU plans but worried about the questions left unanswered. And they said the bailout funds are too small to handle the tasks that could be thrown at them.

Europe's two bailout funds have a combined $625 billion in lending power; up to $125 billion of that is already committed to helping Spain bail out its banks. The remaining $500 billion looks small compared with $3.1 trillion in Spanish and Italian bonds outstanding.

The solution hovering in the background, say some economists, is the European Central Bank. The ECB could buy any amount of government bonds, backed if need be by the bank's theoretically limitless power to create money. So far the bank has been unwilling to take this step, which could violate its mandate to fight inflation and a ban on central bank financing of national governments. The ECB's next policy meeting is Thursday in Frankfurt.

The summit deal leaves out crucial details of just how any bank bailouts would work. Would bank creditors have to take a loss on their investments, or would taxpayers foot the whole bill? The deal didn't specify.

If the banking regulator and a rescue fund take ownership stakes in failed banks, manage those stakes in the taxpayer interest while forcing losses on shareholders and creditors, it could be positive, said Clemens Fuest, an expert in public finance at Oxford University's Said Business School.

Otherwise, simply charging taxpayers could be "a huge burden on growth in Europe for a very long time," Clemens said.

Three cardinal rules of mobile computing

Michael Lasky

Whether it?s notebooks, tablets, phones, peripherals, or even software, we want three things from our mobile tools: they must be light, fast, and intuitive to use.

Here is a quartet of products that meet those rules for the road.

Thin and light ? and bigger ? portable PC

To fulfill the rule of lighter-faster-easier, Lenovo?s ThinkPad T430s (info page) starts with a carbon fiber?reinforced chassis that helps pare its weight down to just 4.2 pounds. For a 14-inch display notebook, that?s light! In addition, the T430s is equipped with Lenovo?s proprietary RapidBoot technology, which gives it a perceptibly faster Windows 7 Professional boot up than typically seen on many other Win7 machines. And if you?re into cutting-edge qualities, this portable has an optional Windows 8?like interface that launches applications and utilities with a single click. (See Figure 1.)

Optional Lenovo startup screen

Figure 1. The T430s comes with an optional startup screen that's reminiscent of the forthcoming Windows 8.

An inch thick, the T430s includes a lithium-ion battery that delivered nearly five hours of power in my informal tests ? enough time to watch Avatar and get some work done, too. Watching the movie was visually pleasing on my review unit. It came with a crisp, 1600?900 HD display (a 1366?768 display knocks U.S. $50 off the standard price) driven by an optional Nvidia NVS 5400M graphics card with 1GB VRAM ($330 extra).

Most laptops and Ultrabooks have reduced size and weight by eliminating built-in optical drives. However, that?s a problem when you want to load applications or grab a movie out of Redbox. The T430s includes a DVD/CD multiburner, adding a bit to its weight and thickness. However, it?s good to have the option. You can also order a second battery that slips into the drive bay for extended power.

On the other hand, you?ll want a good set of headphones when watching movies or listening to music ? Lenovo has put two mediocre speakers on either side of the keyboard.

Lenovo T430s

Figure 2. Lenovo's light and fast T430s

Going back to the days when IBM held the brand, ThinkPads have always sported the best notebook keyboards ? bar none. So why, oh why did Lenovo switch to the island-style (or chiclet) keyboard for the T430s? Although still comfortable with providing great feedback, the key spacing guarantees mistypes galore. I know, I know. You just have to get used to it, but it?s a pity that Lenovo had to ?improve? on keyboard perfection to satisfy obvious MacBook envy.

China's president set to install new but disliked Hong Kong leader amid widening discontent

HONG KONG - Chinese President Hu Jintao is in Hong Kong to install a new but already unpopular governor of the semiautonomous Chinese territory.

It's an event that is becoming a magnet for public disaffection about Hong Kong's widening rich-poor gap and lack of democracy.

Large-scale protests are planned for Sunday's swearing-in of Leung Chun-ying. His popularity has tumbled since he was chosen in March because of a scandal over illegal additions to his mansion and persistent fears that he's an underground Communist Party member.

Security was extremely tight on Friday as Hu arrived to oversee the ceremony and mark the 15th anniversary since China resumed control of the former British colony, promising to retain its freewheeling, capitalist ways.

Bring The Contemporary - A Review From Another person Who ...

Deliver The New has induced a significant number of buzz while in the web marketing community and is also getting suggested by a number of the top rated on the internet marketers. Bring The Contemporary is actually a comprehensive blueprint for building an effective on line company on a shoe string budget. The creators Mike Prolonged and Kelly Felix have place with each other an extraordinary online video collection that teaches Look Engine Optimization, Internet online affiliate marketing, Investigate, Movie Marketing, Copywriting, Pay For each Just click marketing and advertising, Product Creation, E-bay and E-commerce, Licensing, Product Kick off and much a lot more.

My initially experiences reading a Provide The Refreshing critique have been exciting. I recall pondering, ?I?ll bet that this is simply an additional overpriced affiliate coaching method by some over-hyped internet website marketing expert.?

You could or may perhaps not have currently purchased some website marketing items which were built to demonstrate you the way to bring in money on the internet. If that has not worked out for you, during this Bring the Fresh critique I?m going to go over how this technique operates, specifics of the creators, regardless of whether or not it truly is diverse within the other courses available and when it will really do the job for you.

On this short article I am going to speak to you about a method that has effectively been flying lower under the radar, quietly gathering momentum using the occasional suggestion from a respectable marketer from the trade. A little something tells me that this is how Mike Extended and Kelly Felix at Carry the Fresh new really want factors to get finished. Unusually for just a membership web-site similar to this we haven?t witnessed any above the top fanfare or big merchandise launch.

Should you have existed online, in the home based business specialized niche for just about any time frame, then you have undoubtedly observed of your ?Rich Jerk? or ?R.J.? for short. For several years, no person realized who the real Abundant Jerk definitely was. All we realized was that ?R.J.? had the #1 providing e-book around the ClickBank marketplace for numerous several years working, and it can be still cranking in hefty product sales to this day.

Deliver The Clean was created again while in the Summertime of 2010 by effective online marketers Kelly Felix and Mike Very long. Quite simply it can be a step-by-step video manual to developing effective on line businesses on a minimal budget. The course is geared toward the complete newbie although there exists content of price to the skilled marketer. I have to mention, I thought it was heading to get fairly significantly the same old things that other so termed ?courses? purport to show, but possessing browse by means of a lot of critiques to the item, the overall consensus is that this solution is well worth every last buck so you need to hardly ever really need to invest in an additional training course or tutorial so as to earn cash on the internet.

Bring the Fresh was created by two great and successful internet marketers. It is a training program, showing how to make money online.

Raw acreage- No utilities like city water or wells, sewer, electricity. The ability to bring the utilities to the property may be close by, but is not currently on the property.

Off the grid- No availability to connect to the electrical grid. You?ll need solar, wind, or hydro power. These properties usually do not have sewer or water unless a well has been drilled.

Land locked Acreage-These types of properties have no legal access. Zoning does not allow you to create these types of properties anymore, however, some still exist and you will need to be aware.

Utility Accessible acreage- These properties don?t currently have utilities, however, they are close by.

Improved lots- These usually have been graded and have a road, as well as utilities, on the lot. Often times, they are part of a subdivision or master planned community. These can be ready for custom homes or some allow only tract type homes.

Childhood Obesity Epidemic | Team Excellence

Why in the world are we letting our children grow up obese and ill? What?s wrong with us???Do people really want their children to grow up obese, exhausted, depressed and extremely ill? Why are we teaching our kids lifestyle habits that will condemn them to this? It?s unacceptable, lazy and ignorant.

This is a subject that really gets me up on my soap box. (Obviously.) And being so blatant about it may tick some people off, but the truth is the truth here folks. Furthermore, the overall solution for many children out there is so simple. A few easy steps would right so many wrongs for our precious kiddos.

#1: PARENTS MUST CHANGE FIRST!!!
Lead by example! People can?t expect their kids to eat carrots on the treadmill while they ingest ho-hos in front of the TV. If parents don?t take health seriously for themselves, then neither will their children.

#2: TOSS THE JUNK FOOD!!!

Throw away the garbage and commit 100% to purchasing only nutritious foods. Don?t know what to buy? Easy enough. Meat, seafood, green salads, fruits and veggies. God made these things just for us to eat, and built our bodies to flourish on these foods. If you think you can?t afford it, then think this: Can you afford for yourself and your children to be ill for the rest of your lives?

#3: GET ACTIVE!!!

Seriously people, there is so much fun to be had hanging out, doing active things together with your family and/or friends. This is how you develop meaningful relationships with family and friends, by actually spending time with them. You don?t learn what makes people tick by playing video games.

At church on Sunday the message was about spending quality alone time praying and developing a relationship with God the way that Jesus Christ did. You don?t necessarily need a buddy to take a walk and pray, and this is something kids should learn from us as well.

#4: THROW AWAY ALL THE VIDEO GAMES IN YOUR HOME!!!

If you are met with whining and crying, then put your foot down! Kids would rather spend time with their parents. They may not think so at first sight of the video games going out the door, but it?s actually true! Would you want to be 30 years old, reflecting on a childhood of video games or reflecting on a childhood of family times? Video games drive me bonkers. I?m one of those weird kids that was raised without them and played outside. My parents were crazy, I know. They thought kids had fun running, jumping, and exploring! I have so many awesome childhood memories, none of which involve video games. On the cold winter days, my parents and I played board games. Together. Not in front of the TV. I know, even weirder. They should have been locked up for raising me in such a manner. We rarely ate out, and even more rarely ate fast food. I could count on one hand the number of times I had fast food before age eighteen. They made me hoe the weeds in the garden that we ate out of. They made me do chores and have responsibilities. I cannot hardly believe I survived.

P.S. I still love fruits, vegetables and playing outdoors. My kids love fruits, vegetables and playing outdoors. Good habits lead to more good habits. And I don?t want to hear any excuses about not being raised with good habits. Educate yourself and change. Today.

P.P.S. My three-year-old scrubs floors, hoes the garden (it?s a plastic hoe), has chores and will literally choose grapes over cake on any day. There will NEVER be video games in our home. We limit his TV. When he sees someone drinking pop and asks for some, I say no. Lock me up.

P.P.P.S. You should read Steph?s article on Paleo. It?s a two-part, catch them both!
