What will be wearing in 40 years?

I came across this video on youtube. It's one of the shorts you would see in movie theaters before the movie starts. It showcases fashion designers of the 30's idea of what people will be wearing in the year 2000. Take a look.


I personally think they came pretty close. I don't recall ever seeing a shirt with removable sleeves, but I have worn pants that have removable legs. Women wear see through garments all the time now, especially at the Oscars(Halle Berry on right).
I don't expect to see a head light in a woman's hair but women do primarily wear pants now. The men's design is a little more far off, however I personally think facial hair is more abundant than it was then plus they got the cell phone right and they even predicted the fanny pack, RIGHTTTT?

Now I'm going to predict the future of fashion in 2050. I don't want to go much further only because I hope to still be running this blog. If I remember I can comment on my thoughts. Who knows. Could be cool. If I'm not still around maybe an archaeologists will find my site. Anyway here goes.


Women

  1. Mostly form fitting clothes.

  2. One piece suits. Like "Tomb Raider"

  3. Skin will be a thing of the past, Covering the body will be the norm.

  4. Long dresses and Long skirts for special occasions only. No more mini's.

  5. Foot wear will become more and more comfortable, The high heel will be on its way out.

  6. Integration of electronics will be key. Shirts with notepads on the sleeves(LCD of course) and phones in the collar, unless they have already installed them behind our ears.

  7. Men

    1. Mostly form fitting shirts, with built in accessories.

    2. Collars will only be present at special occasions.

    3. Dress pants will reign supreme over casual jeans.

    4. Make up, Make up, Make up. I'm glad I will be an old timer by then. Cause I'm not wearing Make up.

    In general.

    1. Logos will be animated.

    2. No more buying multiple shirts in different colors. Their colors will change.

    3. Clothes will fold themselves.

    4. Clothes will not wrinkle.

    5. Clothes will be able to flash colors or display anything the wearer wants, from music videos to a sports play.
    6. Pockets and purses will be gone, everything you need will be either built into you or your clothes.

That's what I think. Now post your ideas.

Vogue cover racist? I think not!


This new Vogue cover(seen on above), featuring Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen has stirred up some controversial issues including racism and how America views the "Black Man". Well that's crap. This cover is not racist and it doesn't display the black man in a bad way.
People are claiming the cover compares Lebron and Giselle to King Kong and the helpless young blond woman, Ann Darrow. The comparison between a black man and an ape is a serious problem for most including me but that's not what there doing here. The title below them "Shape Issue Secrets of the Best Bodies Gisele & Lebron" give all the information needed to examine this cover and realize it's not an attempt to compare the tw0 to a big monkey and helpless woman. 1st Lebron's strong pose is not to show dominance of control over Gisele. It is to show off his strength athleticism and body. 2nd Gisele almost looks care free. If he was meant to be like King Kong, you would think that Gisele would show a little concern or fear even.
One other point you should consider while examining this cove. Gisele is Hispanic not Caucasian.
If you look at this cover and see racism, I'm sorry but you are a racist. Yes I'm white and from Mississippi. If you think that's the reason I don't see racism your racist. This Vogue cover is not racist it's just a picture of a Star Athlete and Super Model. Get over it, stop analyzing. It's just a magazine cover.

non-Newtonian Liquid: Fun to use! Easy to make!

I found a video on youtube and honestly I had never heard of non-Newtonian fluids. I am sure that I one of the few people who never experienced making it in a high school chemistry class. We made ice cream, drop eggs from roofs, and even blew up a miniature of the Hindenburg, but never made this fun liquid. I actually find it really interesting, the fact that with enough of it you can walk and jump on it, but if you stopped moving you sink. So I decided to find out how to make it, but first I wanted to really understand what it is.
A non-Newtonian Fluid is a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate. As a result, non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity. So if you suddenly poked this fluid it would react more like a solid. On the other hand if you slowly slid your finger through, it will react as a liquid. However if you were to jerk it out it would begin acting like a solid again. See it's really cool.
This is what you need to make it.

  1. Corn Starch (About as much water as you are using)
  2. Water
  3. Some type of Container, I suggest a bath tub for the most fun. Just remember cleaning it up may not be easy.
  4. Stirring rod (or anything to stir with)

How to make it? Simply poor some water in to the corn starch and stir it. You want about equal amounts of both. Finally, I know long process huh, stir it. Your done. When you make some be sure and post about your experience with this. I especially would like to see someone fill their tub with it. So let me know.

Here the video! Looks fun, right?

Update: PARKERVERSE

I have been pretty busy today setting up a new blog entitled parkerverse-youtube. I have decided to slowly and I repeat slowly, break my blog up into several. Therefore, creating several niche blogs. At least that's my hope at this point. To get started I posted some post's from here but I will not duplicate content from here on out. I would also like to add that The parkerverse will still be filled with really broad posts daily. The only difference is that I will be posting on my niche blogs at the same time. Anyway check out my new blog... Answer the polls please... and Have a great night. Heres the link: http://parkerverse-youtube.blogspot.com

Domino's Pizza Recruitment Video- Hillarious

So I used to deliver pizzas for Domino's. It was a great job. I made anywhere from $2000 to $2500 a month. Yeah... A lot. While I was working there a new recruitment video came out. I had never had a job that had a recruitment video. So I watched it. The whole time I was cracking up. After I saw it was over I realized we do go out rain or shine, Hot or cold. I actually had pride in my job for awhile. I thought "I AM A DOMINO'S PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVER". Then I got in a wreck. Rear ended someone driving down the interstate while working. Yeah it sucked.

Anyway I was driving by the local Domino's today and it reminded me of the video. I decided to look for it. I found it. So enjoy.

Brett Farve's Hattiesburg Home!

So Brett Farve... Retired all-star Quarter Back for the Green Bay Packers.
I was out today, I happen to live in Hattiesburg, MS, and I decided to take some pictures of Brett Farve's Home. Before I did, I decided to get a pic of Eagle walk (seen above), under the USM stadium, where his number is proudly displayed. I just thought that some fans out there would want to see this stuff. I am a fan and I thought it might be cool.

Above is a picture of Farve's Gate to his home in Hattiesburg, Ms. The gate stretches nearly a mile down Hwy 98 East only to continue with a tall chain link fence. His actual home is not visible from the road, but maybe one day I will have enough nerve to walk up to the speaker and ask to come in(lol). If you look close, an F is on the center of the gate. Proving that this is Brett Farve's Home(lol). No really it is. Below I zoomed in to show you.
Here's a couple Aerial Photo's for the serious Farve Maniacs...
I hope you guys liked this. Have any of you been inside the gates? If so let me know.

Addicted to Feedburner!

OK so I realized today that I am developing an addiction to feedburner. I check it everyday. I'm sure this is very common among new bloggers but I need a break from it. So I will not check feedburner for 1 week starting now, Tuesday, March 25. It would be nice if I had a lot more subscribers by then, maybe I will. Anyway I will continue to post here. The only difference is that I will have no tools to gauge what kind of response I am getting other than comments. So please comment if you like an article. If you have read my stuff before then you may have noticed I am trying to write series rather than individual posts. If the response is good I will continue if not I drop it. I haven't dropped anything as of yet. Just because this blog is so new. So please let me know if your liking my posts.

New Apartment... Surrounded by HUGE vehichles



So since I moved in here I have noticed that no one has been parking in the 2 spots to my left. Well turns out that no one lived there. Now I liked this because that meant single people may still move in. Well the apartments have been leased. Guess who moved in. An old guy, and a middle age couple. ARRRRG. Now guess what they are driving. The old guy drives a Ford Expedition, and the couple drive a Quad Cab Pickup. I haven't noticed the make of the truck.
A little back story. To the right of my space are bushes and steps. Which means I have to let people out before I park. Also the spaces in this complex seem surprisingly small.
So what does this mean. Bushes to my right, Large Truck/SUV to my left. Where do I fit in. Well I drive Mustang and I really don't. The doors open really wide. Most likely I will have to let myself out before parking but since that isn't possible I will probably be forced to park in an unassigned place. Sigh. Unless the married couple have a second smaller vehicle, like a Prius, and park that in there assigned spot. Man that would be AMAZING Well I can only hope. Anyway they haven't moved in yet but I will update the situation as soon as I know something.

Simply Amazing: Kokoro's Actroid DER2 Fembot

I came across these on youtube as usual. They are female actroids (android that has a very strong human likeness) developed by Kokoro a division of Saniro. The one in the first video is a DER2. So what came before, DER1 a slightly chunkier version of this one. While not for sale you can always rent one for $3500 for five days. While I know that the sex industry drives the actroid industry I seriously doubt that they can be rented for that purpose. I would think that they would be available for parties of the rich as a oddity, or maybe even as a host for a party. They can't walk yet and their movement is not perfect but the movement they have is amazing. With minimal improvements I believe these will be indistinguishable with real humans.






Another DER2.






This is one of the only 2 that spoke English.






So what do we think of this? Amazing yes but what about the fact that once fully operational they will take jobs from people working counters, at hotels, shops, and maybe even the court house. Could be a good thing eventually, like in the "Animatrix" people didn't have to work manual labor anymore and human kind embarked on a second Renaissance. Or the poor will be outsourced by these androids, times will be bad and massive revolution will be eminent. No one knows what the future holds but personally I think its a bright one for all of us. I cant wait till this things are mass produced.

Uncle Buck: a classic comedy


Last night "Uncle Buck", starring John Candy was on. So I decided to watch it. I had not seen this movie in years and you know what. It was great. Hilarious doesn't describe this movie. It was jaw dropping fun.

Today's comedies are too vulgar for me most times and they seem to have very weak plots. That's why I like to watch older comedies. The plots were great, believable, and the cast were acting not poorly delivering dirty jokes.

For those of you who haven't seen it. Here's the Plot. Buck(John Candy) has to get his act together enough to take care of his brothers 3 kids while he is away helping his wife care for her father. Buck's problems come in while caring for the oldest Tia, a rebellious teenager, washing clothes, dealing with his girlfriend and his single neighbor Marcy. John Candy was at his best in this film. And I seriously suggest seeing "Uncle Buck". RENT IT! BUY IT! LOVE IT!

Car Buying Tips From an Ex-Salesman part 3

First I would like to apologize for not posting this Friday. I was at my parents, and could not find the time.

Tonight I am going to give you a step by step process to get a great deal on a specifically a NEW car. With that said some of this will be repeated from previous posts. But since I don't have a huge following yet it will probably be more beneficial this way.

The STEPS to get a great deal on a NEW car.

  1. Internet research. You need to research cars that you are interested in. Go to manufacturers websites(http://www.ford.com/ or http://www.dodge.com/, etc.) to do so. Find 1 you are interested in. While there make notes of pricing and features. Be aware that dealerships do not always carry the exact car you look at so pricing may be off a little. Also dealers can trade cars with other dealers to get the exact one you want, however if this is done dealers lose markup and will not give you as much of a deal. Now, you know the car you want, the features you want and the pricing on the specific vehicle. Also make sure and note what kind of rebates are available and Bonus Cash. Your thinking the dealer has that info. Well they do but they do not have to disclose Bonus cash to you. Most dealers do but some will no mention it and keep it for profit. Now what?
  2. Call the a local dealership and ask to speak to the New Car Sales Manager. If he is not available either tell them you will call back or ask him to call you. This is an important step. Once you get him on the phone tell him that you are interested in setting up an appointment to test drive a vehicle. He will most likely hand you to a salesman to set up a time(only set up a time when you are 100% ready to buy and tell the Sales manager that too) but the point of this is to let him know you are ready to buy. This makes him aware of you, pay special attention to you and he will think you have already been sold on the product. So when you come in, negotiate price and act tough with the salesman. He will assume they did something wrong. And try fixing it with bigger discounts. Now if you drive the car and don't like it, leave. Do not look at other stuff. No research means no control (you lose power when you let a salesman sale you something. If you want you can research several vehicles before you go to the dealership in the event you dislike the ride or something else. Just make it clear you are there to see a few vehicles. Now what?
  3. So you just drove the car and you love it. You want to buy it. Tell the salesman you want to see what kind of price they can do. They will sit you down and fill out some paperwork. They will ask to run your credit, allow them at this point. Again you are letting them know that you are ready to buy by doing this. When the numbers come back he will go over them with you. Most likely you will see a discount, rebates and bonus cash, depending on availability. Lets say he put a rebate on there but no discount or bonus cash. Immediately following the presentation of numbers ask, wheres the discount? He may respond by pointing out the rebate or he may say at this time he cant do any better. If its the first say the rebate comes from the manufacturer what are you going to do for me. If its the second say well I'm sorry I wasted your time (start to stand) and tell him that you will have to wait. This will scare him because remember his boss gave him you and thinks this will be an easy sale. So he will respond to both of these by saying let me check with my manager and see what we can do. He may try to negotiate price with you him self, tell him to get a discount approved and you will go from there. Now He will leave for a few come back and make another offer. At this point if its not where you want it. Ask him for the price you want. Keeping in mind base model markup is around $900 middle of the road markup is $1500, and loaded markup is 3000. These are round numbers could be more or less. He will say ok or go and check with a manager. They may or may not accept your offer. If you don't you can try and leave and see if they change their mind. But this is very hard to do. Lets say they accept your offer. Now if their was bonus cash shown online mention that to them. Ask when they show the Bonus cash in the numbers? That's how you get the price you want. Now what?
  4. Tell them your ready to see interest rates. It will take around 30 minutes most times to do this if they are busy you could be their awhile. When they are ready either the finance manager will come to you or the you will go to him. He will be the nicest and the best salesman they have. Why, because he sales you stuff you don't need with incredible markup. Warranty- I always buy warranty. Normally they will show you a price of $2400 dollars for it with a 600 dollar discount. Problem is they only pay around $1000 for it. Mention it seems a lot higher than you remember, ask for the discount. Gap- I also always buy gap. Normally gap sales for $600 dollars. There is not a lot of markup but you should be able to get $150 off, just by asking. Most pay $300 for it. Life- I never buy it. Its just expensive really expensive insurance. Turn the offer down every time. You don't want this. A&H- Another really expensive insurance. Turn it down. You don't want this either. If that negotiating went well you will move on to the note and interest. If you got all the discounts I have spoke about they will try and bump the interest. They have to make money some how. Consider rates on your credit card, they should be higher than your car rate. However rates do go up and down through out the year. An easy way to check rates is to apply for an auto lone online. This will give you an idea of rate. If its a little higher mention that you were offered a lower rate online and tell them the lender. Some times the finance manager will not send your credit to all lenders and may not have tried it yet and most will give it a try. If its lower take it. Now what?
  5. SIGN THE PAPERWORK and drive it home. Then?
  6. Come back to my blog and tell me about your experience.

I Hope this helps you all. If you have any questions post them in the comments. Thanks for Reading.

Complet Destruction AVERTED!!!

So a few minutes ago posted some problems I was having uploading a new layout. Well I fixed it... Now I will not even pretend to know how it worked but it did. Also I would like to note that I did not come up with this on my own.
The 2 errors!

  • bX-aoj9qb
  • bX-4smx9i

Happened while I was trying to both confirm and preview a new template/layout. I searched the knowledge base and found someone who said they found someone(possibly a blog) named Jesus and Yoda. Who just deleted all their widgets and the error went away. Well I tried it. After I was done I clicked save layout(after I deleted the widgets).

At this point I received a error.

  • bX-3gqv75

This pissed me of to no end lol. So I decided to try to upload my new template to see if it works anyway. AND, IT DID.. WOOHOO Thanks to whoever posted that fix. It seemed like it was effecting a ot of people and we all appreciate it. Thanks Again.

How I find topics for my blog?

Usually I look around digg, yahoo answers, youtube, and yahoo buzz.
While on digg or buzz I try not to look at stories that are extremely popular because if everyone is writing about them there will be very little I can add and no one wants to hear the same story 1000 times. I try to stick to videos while on there so that I have a visual reference for the readers.
While on yahoo answers I may be inspired by an individuals question, but most times I just see whats hot.
Browsing youtube, is something I do for fun and not for this blog but I always find something worth talking about so I write about it.
The key to writing a new post is interest, your interest. If your not interested in the topic then you will get blocked, frustrated and rush it.
This guy CHRIS BROGRAN, posted a topic listing 100 ideas for topics. I would rather not to use the list but I have found a few that interest me. So expect to see some soon.
So thats how I find my topics. Hope it helps you all. If you have some suggestions let me know. Im always ready open to new ideas.

10 Guilty Pleasures...

  1. Smoking! I started when I was 19. Started regretting it with in a year.
  2. Celebrity reality shows! These are all horrible horrible shows, generally with no real point but for some reason I keep tuning in.
  3. MTV reality shows! FAKE!FAKE!FAKE! That they are! But I still love to watch all that crap.
  4. Irritating my younger sister! I'm 26 so I'm no to clear on why I still do this but I assume it has something to do with her over reaction
  5. Christina Aguilera music! Christina is a great artists/vocalist. But being the Manly Man I am. I don't like to say it.
  6. Howard the Duck the movie! I loved this movie. I will wait in line or preorder it if George Lucas ever releases it.
  7. Collecting action figures till I was 14! I don't dwell on the past but It was my number 1 guilty pleasure as a teen.
  8. Lonely girl15! What can I say, I started watching her way back when her youtube channel first came out. I was there when everyone thought she was fake. I was fooled. I watch Lonely girl15. You don't know how much it pains me to say that.
  9. Boy band music! I got a full dose of this stuff when I was a teen. My sister listed to it all. Honestly though I discovered the Backstreet Boys all on my own, and I love "Quit playing games with my heart".
  10. Full Moon movies! I love the scifi genre and Full Moon productions produce alot of this of movies in this genre. However they are normally horrible movies, but I would buy everyone given enough money and the chance.

After I wrote this I realized this is more of an honesty test. How honest will you be? If you ever planned to comment now is the time. Tell me your guiltiest pleasures.

Addicted to the Internet? RIGHTTTT

So you think your addicted to the Internet. Wrong! Maybe a loved one or friend is. Wrong!
Saying someone is addicted to the Internet is like saying, they are addicted to life(that's a good thing rightttt) because that's all it is. LIFE!

With that said, the Internet has many addictive aspects. Chatting, porn, gaming, and gambling are all very addictive and all offered on the Internet. However all of these, excluding chatting, which is only 1 aspect of the Internet, are available offline.

The Internet life is just a new way to live. A new way to start a business, meet new friends, date, talk to old friends, keep up with family, etc... I could go on forever.

The problem is that this new way of life is not socially accepted yet. However its social acceptance is progressing exponentially with help from sites like blogger, myspace, youtube, flickr, ebay etc... Again I could go on forever.

So what about these people who spend hours and hours online. Well I'm one and I bet you are too! I spend time running my blog and youtube channel, while checking in with sites like myspace and hotornot and it takes alot of time to do that. Now granted I can be on and off of myspace in less than 5 minutes if I haven't received any new messages, but the rest takes time. Time to personalize your page, upload new content, update profiles, converse with your friends and family and introduce yourself to new people. Addicted? No, I am not addicted. Do I HALF to get online daily? Only if I want my blog to be a success. Can I go with out the Internet for a few days? Easily!

So where does addiction come in? It doesn't. Life can now be experienced from a chair. Just remember to get up every once in awhile, get some exercises in, eat something, and take a look outside.

New Apartment...

So I think I've discovered one of the reasons why my neighbor above me is so noisy. It seems that there is a girl, who if not lives with him spends a lot of time with him up there. Still though. Whats going on? Do they take turns running around the apartment? Or what? Who knows. At least I know I can sleep through it. However the last 2 days I have woken up at 7:30 exactly with no use of an alarm clock. Not that I'm complaining but I'm one of those people that doesn't wake up with out a clock. It's not like I went to bed early. So whats going on with that. I will further investigate and let you all know.

Simply Amazing: Boston Dynamics Big Dog Quadruped Robot!

Above is a video I found trolling youtube. I think your going to be impressed. This is a video of Boston Dynamics's, quadruped robot. Personally I think it makes Asimo look like a slightly slow child, but to be fair I think that's what Honda was going for, a first step in human robotics. Anyway the first 30 seconds or so are a bit slow. I thought it was a hoax of some type because how many times do you see state of the art robotics walking around the woods and up hill at that... But when its on flat ground in the parking lot it seemed more believable. Then a guy comes out of nowhere kicks it(jump kick) as hard as he could. It stayed on all fours. I thought it was fake again. Then it was slipping on ice.. Fake! Then running and jumping through a laboratory course I was simply AMAZED! I cant wait to get one. Sign me up. I'm riding my oversize quadruped Yorkie to work from now on. I wonder how many horse power these things are going to have.
But on a more serious note. Boston Dynamics has created a biologically moving quadruped. You saw it. It's called BigDog. Don't get too excited though, BigDog is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. So it's really unlikely that you will see it on the common market anytime soon.
On another note, I attempted to go to Boston Dynamics website and waited for about 25 minutes(and I have 6mb comcast cable Internet) while I wrote this(just an attempt to give you more information). I don't know how long this video has been out there but if it's new. Their site may be overrun with web surfers. Hopefully this will not slow production. Anyway the link is all over the article take a look let me know if you get through.

Wiki had a little about it. BigDog is specifically being created as a pack mule for terrain where wheeled vehicles don't do so hot. It was created in 2005, and as far as I know it is not ready for deployment.

New apartment...

So I thought that I had (1)some pretty quiet neighbors (2)a really well insulated apartment. Well I was wrong on both accounts. Turns out the guy who lives above me was out of town. Now that he is back he is always and I mean constantly moving around. I don't understand how he can move that much. What I really don't get is why he has to move so much. I mean seriously! What is he doing up there? The whole situation makes me feel like a weirdo, because I am in my apartment on my computer or watching some tv. I mean I work out and I do move around, but the apartment is like 600 square feet. Where the hell is he going? I keep thinking back to when I was younger my sisters friends would be upstairs making all kinds of noise and I would yell up "be quiet!". I find myself almost doing that hear. Anyway I just wanted to vent.

HP manufactured dvds on demand? Awesome!

This was announced January 24th 2008, so you may have already heard about this, but since I haven't heard of it then some of you haven't earlier. Plus I think this will be great.
HP (Hewlett Pakard) has went into the dvd buisness or actually the hard to find media buisness. Everybody has a dvd they want that has not been released. We are all stuck watching this media on antiquated equipment(VCR). HP has fixed that.
HP announced the 24th of January 2008, that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has licensed a vast majority of there library for production through HP's new DVD on demand. This made Sony Pictures the first major studio to team with HP. Other Major Studios should follow Sony's lead.
I don't know about everybody else but I think this is great. The chance to buy movies that time forgot on DVD like "What Did You Do In The War Daddy" is simply amazing. There are lists of dvds all over the Internet requesting their release, my only hope is that they will offer the ones I want too.
First Sony will be releasing these types of media and I'm sure this is only the beginning.

  • Classic and older TV shows never before released on DVD
  • Foreign movies
  • Productions for specialty genres such as religion, education, lifestyle, health, food and sports
  • Specialty cable TV programming
  • Independent movies
  • Recently broadcast TV shows and sporting events with high relevancy in specific geographic markets or within specific consumer segments.

The list of media being released has not been finalized yet. Here is the link to the Press Release.

Trancers: A SciFi Classic...



Trancers first released in 1985, starring Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt. This scifi masterpiece produced five sequels; Trancers II (1991), Trancers III (1992), Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994), Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994), and Trancers 6 (2002).
Trancers tells the story of police trooper Jack Deth(Tim Thomerson), who has been hunting Martin Whistler, a criminal mastermind that possesses the ability to psychically turn people into zombies and control them. In the beginning of Trancers, Jack is hot on the trail of Whistler. So Whistler injects himself with a time travel inducing drug which transports the persons consciousness to the youngest living relative of the time period. Concerned what he might change Jack goes back to 1985 to stop him. He finds Whistler building an army of Trancers to take over the world. Along the way he meets a young cute punk girl Leena (Helen Hunt) who helps him in his task. Without giving anything specific away Whistler escapes to another time period, creating the first sequel, Trancers II. As you can guess Whistler escaped many times allowing multiple sequels to this classic scifi movie.
What I thought...
The Trancers movies were produced on a low budget. However, Where the effects lacked, Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, and the rest of the cast made up for. One thing that made these movies so memorable were the little things that were mentioned in one and then made note of in the sequels. The story telling was unbelievable for such a low budget movie and I can't say it enough, Tim Thomerson made these movies. He was amazing in Trancers 1-5. However in Trancers 6, Jack travels in time to save his daughters life and ends up taking the persona of his daughter Josephine (Zette Sullivan). Personally I felt her performance was great. After all those years the Trancers saga still has it.
These movies are great for people who love movies like "Back to the Future". There are so few time travel movies out there, that really show you the possibilities. Trancers is definitely one of them. RENT IT BUY IT LOVE IT.

Update: Car buying tips...

I have decided to make my car buying tips a weekly or possibly bi-weekly post. The reason is I am not getting any kind of response. When I write on this topic I seem to go on and on. Its also a bit tiring to write about this subject. I never liked selling cars, and really don't like talking about the process to buy them. When Start getting input my posts will become more regular. I will still answer any questions posted in comments. Let me know if you need more involved help. I will post this topic on Friday's and maybe once more during the week. I have not decided yet.

How to catch, keep, and feed a Leprechaun



St. Patricks Day is almost here. What does that mean? Get your Leprechaun traps out. So to catch a Leprechaun you first need to know a bit about the Leprechaun.

  • They are really small. A wee bit smaller than a G.I. Joe.

  • They always where alot of green. To camouflage themselves in the grass.

  • They can not leave the grass, or they will die. Unless they see a rainbow at which point they can go anywhere, and they can fly.

  • They prefer well maintained lawns.

  • They are uncontrollably pulled to the scent of 4 leaf clover's.

  • They are very disgusting and vile creatures. They spit, curse, burp, and a whole lot more.

  • They are most abundant on the eve of St. Patrick's Day.

  • They are only male.

  • They eat soups composed of grasses, which they boil in a wee little pot.

  • They fall asleep instantly when it is dark and can not wake up for hours.

  • They can not resist the smell of Lemon Grass.

  • They are allergic to all house pets.

  • They are disgusted by poor penmanship.

  • They are really stupid.

  • They hate large open areas.

  • They are really really really fast. Don't expect to see them unless you have one enclosed and watch him for a long time.

  • They love gold.

  • They love Rainbow's.

So now that you know a little. How do you catch one?

You will need the following item's.

  • Some type of box preferably small. Like a pop tart box.

  • Lemon Grass. If you don't have this type then golf course grass or even lawn grass will work.

  • A stick about 6 inches high.

  • A bright green crayon or marker.

  • Great hand writing.

  • 4 leaf clover stickers.

So with those few things you or anyone can catch a Leprechaun. Here are the steps.

  1. Find a spot on your lawn where your pets do not go.

  2. Place the stick in the ground 1/2" deep.

  3. Color the box green.

  4. Write on the box Leprechaun rest station & pull stick to get gold coin.

  5. Place the box so that one side is supported by the ground and one is supported by the stick. This should allow enough clearance.

  6. Place loose grass inside.

  7. Place the stickers all over the box and even in the yard. Make a couple trails with them leading to the box.

  8. Now wait, just remember to do it inside. If he sees you he will run.

After you catch him don't move the box until you have a cage for him. He will sleep there indefinitely.

So you caught him. Now how do you keep him? A hamster cage is the best idea. Place grass all over the floor of the cage. When adding new grass be careful not to let him out. Always cover the cage before opening it so he will be asleep. Toss him a gold coin once in awhile, it will make him happy. Most importantly do not I repeat DO NOT let him see a Rainbow. Rainbow's make Leprechauns nuts and give them powers like flying. He will surely escape if this happens.

To feed him simply use scissors and cut some really pretty grass. Place it in a bowl and leave it in the sunlight for 32 minutes. Remember they are small they cant handle microwave hot. Now if you want to see something silly poor some pepper in the bowl before you give it to him. When he goes to eat it he will sneeze uncontrollably and bounce around the cage. Don't worry he will not be hurt, he may curse and spit at you though.

So post pictures of your traps in the comments of this post. GOOD LUCK

Stargate: The Ark of the Truth - I saw it.

So I saw it. I thought overall it was a decent movie. There were some great parts and some horrible parts. The I.O.A. and replicators felt like they were added in last minutes of production. These subplots felt forced. They also broke up the flow of the movie. Another part that was obviously added for the non fans that irratated me was when Sam brought Mitchel some cookies, or what ever they were and kissed him... Vala's usual comedic act felt tired in Ark of the Truth. Just seemed as if she was overdoing it. Beau Bridges parts were a complete waste of time to me. They were just added to have his name on the movie.

On the other hand, the rest of the cast and their stories were great. Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping delivered as always. Ben Browder did a great job, its just too bad he was stuck with the replicators and I.O.A. Christopher Judge's walk through the mountains was a bit long but if anyone could pull it off Teal'c could. Tim Guinee was great and im glad he finally switched sides. Finally Morena Baccarin was hardly in the movie lol I would have prefered a whole lot more of her instead of the replicators and I.O.A. I love her in Firefly and I loved her in this.

If you can deal with the fact that the producers were trying to open the Stargate franchise to new viewers. And you realize to do that they had to show stuff in the movie that the fans dont need to or want to see. Then you will love the movie. While I still think it's just decent I still loved it and hope to see alot more out of the Stargate Franchise.

Stargate Atlantis the finale: WOW

Atlantis's finale "Last Man" blew me away. I loved the finale. When Old McKay popped in on John, I knew we were in for some fun.
Why I loved it.

  • Featured my favorite 2 characters. McKay and Sheppard
  • 48,000 years in the future. AWESOME!
  • McKay falling in love. Good for him.
  • Carter going Kamikaze. Would liked to have seen her live but Cool.
  • Great space battles.
  • Ronan the General.

Things I didn't like.

  • Michael becoming so powerful, just don't believe it. Hopefully they will explain it more.

That's it... I really loved the finale. And yeah they all died. But it's not like they wont be back next season. Like Sheppard would say, "Just another day in space."

What did you think? Let me know.

Stargate Atlantis has had it's ups and downs but it remains my favorite TV show out there. I suggest anyone who has not seen it rent it, buy it, or catch it in reruns... It's amazing.

CAR BUYING TIPS FROM AN EX-SALESMAN part 2

Tonight rather than talk about procedure in purchasing a car, I am going to talk about things you should never do while purchasing a car.

  1. Never buy A&H or life. A&H and life are basically insurance. When you go into the finance office, the finance manager (a.k.a best salesman) will generally offer you 4 products. Life, A&H, gap, and warranty. I suggest always buying gap and warranty. Now A&H protects your credit. If you were to fall ill or injure yourself. A&H would pay your monthly note for 3 to 6 months. While this prevents repossession it just cost to much, thousands of dollars. They will show you a small increase in payment and say something like this. What if you get cancer? The finance managers are the toughest to deal with in the car business. After asking you a what if with a possibly deadly end. They will mention Life. Now this is also an insurance, which protects your family. If you were to die the day after you bought the car, the insurance would pay the car off completely. While this sounds good it also can be very expensive. So what does the cost matter for peace of mind. How about this. Lets say a couple walk in the finance managers office. They are relieved they know its about over. However this is where most people get screwed in the car business. The finance manager will be very pleasant. The couple has picked out a Minivan(so all there cute kids could fit). At this point the couple think they are going to pay $425 a month for 60 months (a base model or maybe a used one for that price). They are presented numbers at this point, and they both notice the note is $505 for 72 months for a $20000 van(too high unless you have credit problems). So they say no. But the finance manager wont let them leave till they hear his proposal. So 30 minutes later. The couple leave exhausted, but relieved and excited about their new van. What happened in the finance office? They were sold. Sold Life, A&H, gap and warranty. Now they are paying 80 dollars more a month and for a year longer than they expected. What does this mean for their future. They will not be able to trade this vehicle in until its payed off at which point the van will be worth maybe $1000. Why? The stuff they were sold in the finance office costs around $6000. Which means they are $8000 up side down when they pull off the lot. So take my advice and don't buy Life and A&H. There is only one exception, you are already extremely sick and could possibly die.
  2. Super Sale! Have you ever gotten one of those fliers in the mail that says You Won! come to blank blank dealership to collect the prize. Throw it away. Or go with this knowledge in mind. These fliers will offer a check for $4000 off or at least $3600 for your trade. They will have cars for 500 dollars and cars with low monthly notes of $199 a month. Last but not least they will guarantee you financing bad credit, no credit etc. The first thing you need to know about these sales is that the salesman working are not from the area well not all of them, the regular staff will be there but the Super Sale team will be running the show. These salesmen are the best in the business. They get a week to make enough to cover hotel, food, plane, and regular monthly expenses. They are good. 2nd They don't care what they have to promise because they will be not be there next week. 3rd These sales are for used cars, claiming to be a liquidation event. Not true. 4th While you think the cars are marked down they are actually marked up at minimum $6000 over cost. My first sell in a super sale I made 2300 dollars on one car. 5th The big prize you think you won is a 5 dollar Wal-Mart gift card and to get it you will have to register at which point they will run your credit. Now there is a big prize and you can win it but no one ever does. Why? Because the team sends out around 60,000 fliers, the odds of that winner walking in the door are extremely low. 6th When you they show you the numbers and take the $4000 off they will first mark the price up again $4000 dollars so they don't lose money. Basically if you buy a car without negotiating at one of these events you will pay at minimum 6k over cost and don't feel safe looking at a new car. These salesmen can even get you on them. So I will leave you with this: If you have all day, enjoy playing the car game, don't have a problem saying no, feel you understand the car business and the salesmen, and know you can walk out at any time. Go to all the super sales you want, and collect the gift cards. Maybe you will get lucky and win the prize.
  3. Never mention down payment until you are in the finance office. Pretend you forgot you had it. If you mention it before you agree on numbers they can make it disappear in the numbers by bumping the cost, making up charges, and bumping interest rate.
  4. Never mention a trade/how much you want for it till you see a price on the car you want. Why? They can show you as much as you want for your trade by simply subtracting price from the car you want. For example lets say you want $2000 for your paid for Neon. You want to buy a Stratus for $10000. Now the Neon is only worth $1000 and the Stratus is only worth $6000. So they say they will give you 2000, for the Neon. They just lost $1000. To supplement this loss they will say with a discount $567 on the Stratus, and 2000, for your trade, you are out the door at $7433. Looks good. doesn't it. What you don't realize is that they actually gave you $1000 fro your car and a $1567 discount. Still sound good? Well if it does, your wrong. Your 1st goal is to get the discount. As much as you can. From part 1 of this series you should know that used cars are on average marked up $4000. Which means with the $1500 you got off they still made close to $2500. So first get a discount of at least $2000 dollars. 2nd mention your trade. You will always want more than what they offer. So if you get the 2k off and they show you another thousand in your trade you end up getting 3000 off rather than 1500. Its kinda complicated, I hope I explained it well enough

Things to remeber.

  1. Don't buy A&H or life unless you are sick.
  2. The finance manager is where the struggle begins.
  3. Super sales are bad news.
  4. Never mention a trade until you get the price you want.
  5. Never mention what you want for your car till you get the price you want
  6. Never mention down payment until you get ready to sign the papers.
  7. Super Salesmen are really that, Super slalesmen, without the knowledge you will be taken advantage of.

Anyway that concludes part 2. Feel free to ask Questions. Remember there are no dumb questions in the car business.
