Some recent information is coming in and it’s not looking good for Chevron. There has been an increase in engine parts tearing up over the last few years and lots of car mechanics have seen these damages. The belief that ethanol was causing the engine damage seemed to be the case. More ethanol fuel is being pumped into our cars when we buy gas now and this appeared to be the problem.

A recent study on gasolines has revealed that the ethanol is not to blame and it’s actually the gas from Chevron causing the problems. They do add a techron to their fuels and this is suppose to help clean engines. It may be cleaning them too well and damaging critical parts inside your car’s engine. Chevron with techron may have to come off the market and this could cost the company of Chevron and their stock holders millions of dollars.

It does seem like gas prices are back on the rise again and oil companies are still making huge profits on the American consumers. These high gas prices were under the Bush Adminstration and now we see them under the Barack Obama Administration. A new president hasn’t helped us at the gas pumps yet and the oil companies are still over charging for the price of gas.

Chevron is going to have to figure out their own problems and see what steps need to be done with the techron they currently have in their gas. I’m not sure the problem is with techron or if it’s something else Chevron is using in their gas and oil products. If you want to protect your car’s engine right now and get the most life out of your motor, you may want to avoid pumping Chevron gas into your car; until more information can be found about their harmful gas additives they are using.

Do you know your page rank with Google? Check it now for free and see what ranking your website holds.

This is a valuable tool to see where your page stands with Google. Page ranks can be 0 to 10. Don’t hold your breath for the 10 ranking, because there is only about 2 or 3 websites that hold the elusive 10 rank with Google. Not many websites at 9 either, so you probably don’t have a 9 ranking or you would know about it already. A rank of 8 is possible but very tough to get.

Usually a good website that keeps fresh content and sticks to a niche will land a 1 through 4 ranking with Google. The websites that go 5 or higher are pretty rare. If you have kept your content fresh and stuck to a certain niche, you should be showing a ranking with Google. It does take a little time to get ranked, so if you haven’t had your website too long, you may still be at 0.

If your website is older than 1 year and you have no ranking yet; then it may be time to optimize your website some. You need to make sure you have a good meta tag in place and a RSS Feed is great for your website too. These two things can make a dramatic improvement in your website’s rankings. Another thing you can work on to get your website soaring up the ranks is having a lot of links coming to your website. Trading links with fellow webmasters really isn’t that good of an idea. It’s great for people that have brand new websites, but if you had your website for a few months now; then just try to get links directed toward your website. You want to try and limit the out going links from your website and try to get as many other websites pointing toward your site as possible. This is the most popular way webmasters get a higher ranking with Google. It’s also a fast and effective way to get the page rank moving up the charts.

Alex Talks Swine Flu in Mexico

Her message is in Spanish. Here is a rough translation of what she had to say:

Hi guys , how are you , I hope you`re very well.

Well , this recording will be about a subject which appeares to be of high-fashion these days.

It`s about a virus , called Influenza , which is spreading across USA , Canada and Mexico , a new virus , a new disease of high contagiousness , a type of flu but more acute. This type of flu comes from pigs , and it`s spreading , and there are a lot of cases.

Starting Friday evening , they (authorities) started doing rounds , they`ve been in people`s homes , (they did something with plasthics) , they told us we have to stay indoors under any circumstances , and for any emergency we can call a certain number , they told us we cannot have appliances on for more than 4 hours , food will be delivered to us.

They are instructing us and taking a lot of precautions.

Classes are suspended , from small children to universities , also people are not going to work.

Classes will (restart) on may 6th.

People have asked me what i think about this.

Well , firstly , I think the information we`re getting is filtered , (because there are more precautions taken now than with the aviary flu) , and they are hiding the seriousness of swine flu from us. People walking on the street have their mouths covered , everything is closed , cinemas , parks , we cannot go out of the house , everything , everything is closed.

Secondly , i think, this is a time of becoming aware , even if a little , because we are responsible too , humanity caused all these new viruses to appear , and unfortunatelly now , for these new viruses there are no vaccines , and i don`t know what they will do , they told us all the precautions we need to take , but i don`t know what they will do about the people who are already sick.

So , we have to think about this , even if a little , because we are responsible too , through our messed up diets , throwing garbage everywhere and so on , we are responsible about all this too.

Let`s hope the authorities can handle this flu situation well , let`t hope things don`t become of major seriousness , take care of yourselves guys , take precautions , and we`ll see eachother again at the next recording (video).

YouTube Sensation Sings Starlight

Great job Alex!

Rising You Tube Star Alex sings the song Starlight by a British Band that goes by the name Muse. This is a good song and Alex does a great job on it!

Have you ever heard this song before? How well do you think Alex did? The rising star from Mexico contines to shine bright at YouTube and nice new look with the derby-style hat. Alex has a lot of videos uploaded at You Tube and lots of those videos are here for you to watch. You can see Alex singing a wide variety of songs and I’m sure she sings a few that you know very well.

This song is called Starlight and I think there is a light shinning bright on this star from YouTube. The Sensation continues to make progress with her online fame, thanks to the help of a popular website like YouTube. You can see all kinds of people uploading videos there and they cover just about anything you want to see. The YouTube Sensation Alex has the amateur singing covered there and she is one of YouTube’s best performers.

Last Kiss by Pearl Jam

I always liked this song. It is actually based on a true story. It was a car accident in Georgia and someone living in the town where the accident happened wrote this little tune. It has held up over the years and Pearl Jam covered the song several years back that shinned new light on this great song.

Have you ever heard this song before? Did you know that it was based around a true story? Please be sure to add any more information about this song, if you do know about the true details. I know the car accident was in Georgia and I believe it was in the southern part of Georgia near Barnesville.

We don’t often think of light as pollution for us but it is indeed one of man’s pollutions we have to live with. It’s different from waste pollution or noise pollution or any other pollution you may be more familiar with today. Light pollution is a serious problem and it only gets worse each day. New strip malls or neighborhoods being built with spotlights outside only adds to the problem. These lights keep us from seeing the stars at night and most people living in a major city today don’t get to see all the beautiful stars that do come out at night.

A good way to help control the problem is limiting your outside lights at night. No need for porch lights or carport lights to stay on all night. People with lights in the yard should only use them when needed and not leave them on for long periods of time. Individual households play a small part in our light pollution problems, but we have to start somewhere. Hopefully city leaders will take action and have less lightning for new businesses and force establish businesses to cut down on their outdoor lighting at night.

The stars are wonderful to see and this is how early man would pass their time at night. I know in my area of North Georgia we have seen less lightning bugs than we use to have. I think this is a direct cause of light pollution and lights at night do hurt some forms of nature. Most hotels along the coast have shades over their lights to help the sea turtles continue to thrive in the oceans. We need more efforts like this to help protect nature and to help us see the stars and other things in the night time skies. Try to learn more about light pollution and ways that you can help prevent it at your household. It’s all the small steps that lead to major changes and we do need to start reducing our light pollution at night.

Learn more about light pollution at the Dark Sky Festival.

The NFL or National Football League is about to conduct their draft soon. Many of the top players from the college football season of 2008 will be among the highest possible canididates to get chosen. I love watching the NFL draft every year and Chris Berman does a great job from ESPN. There will be a new start time to the draft this year. Normally the first round gets started at noon on Saturday and this year’s 2009 NFL draft will start at 4 PM Eastern Time. It will begin on April 25th and many NFL fans may be tuning in at noon to watch the draft and see it’s not on. It will start at 4PM this year or 1PM for those living on the West Coast.

Here is a mock draft to this year’s 2009 NFL Draft:

1. Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions

2. Jason Smith - Los Angeles Rams

3. Aaron Curry - Kansas City Chiefs

4. Michael Crabtree - Seattle Seahawks

5. Eugene Monroe - Cleveland Browns

6. Michael Oher - Cincinnati Bengals

7. B.J. Raji - Oakland Raiders

8. Aaron Maybin - Jacksonville Jaguars

9. Tyson Jackson - Green Bay Packers

10. Brian Orakpo - San Francisco 49ers

11. Malcolm Jenkins - Buffalo Bills

12. Chris Wells - Denver Broncos

13. Andre Smith - Washington Redskins

14. James Laurinaitis - New Orleans Saints

15. Knowshon Moreno - Houston Texans

16. Josh Freeman - San Diego Chargers

17. Mark Sanchez - New York Jets

18. Eben Britton - Denver Broncos

19. Rey Maualuga - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

20. Brian Cushing - Detroit Lions

21. Vontae Davis - Philadelphia Eagles

22. Jeremy Maclin - Minnesota Vikings

23. Robert Ayers - New England Patriots

24. Darius Heyward - Atlanta Falcons

25. Clay Matthews - Miami Dolphins

26. Peria Jerry - Baltimore Ravens

27. Darius Butler - Indianapolis Colts

28. Brandon Pettigrew - Philadelphia Eagles

29. Hakeem Nicks - New York Giants

30. Kenny Britt - Tennessee Titans

31. Eric Wood - Arizona Cardinals

32. Everette Brown - Pittsburgh Steelers

We should see the first round this year go about like that. I think there are several surprises in this year’s draft class. I think Mark Sanchez from USC will drop like a rock in the draft and I really don’t think he’s worth a first round pick for any NFL team. It should be interesting to see how it all unfolds on April 25th. Does this mock draft have a player going to your favorite team that you would like for them to draft? If so, there is a good chance you may just land that nugget in this year’s draft class. Maybe you didn’t like the player chosen in this NFL mock draft, but it’s not official until the 25th gets here, so still time for things to change.

Is there any where better on Earth for a honeymoon; than the beautiful islands in Hawaii? I have always wanted to go Hawaii and figured I would just make it my honeymoon destination one day. I couldn’t imagine anyone not liking a trip or honeymoon under the warm sun of the Hawaiian Islands. These tiny islands in the Pacific are paradise and that’s probably why lots of people have Maui Weddings. I would probably choose Maui as my destination for a wedding, honeymoon, or just a family vacation. It has always stuck out to me as being the best place to visit amongst the Hawaiian Islands.

The Maui Resort would be a good choice to book your stay in Hawaii. They are located in a good spot for activities on the beach or the other fun things to do in Maui. I would enjoy the food so much in Hawaii. I hear the hotel that goes by the nickname “Maui’s Most Hawaiian Hotel” also has been voted the best Hawaiian cuisine. I love to eat seafood and I’m sure there would be a lot of seafood choices on the menu; along with the local flavor that Maui has to offer. The food would be priority number 1 for me, but you couldn’t keep me off of the Maui beaches. I know the surfers like to go to certain parts of Maui for the big waves. I don’t care about the big waves, but relaxing on the beach in Maui would be like heaven to me.

Have you ever considered a trip to Hawaii? Any chance that your first honeymoon choice would be in Maui or another part in Hawaii; I’m sure you’re not alone if you’re dreaming of Hawaii. It certainly is a place most travelers or tourists would rank high on their places to visit. It’s very high on my list and I hope someday I can save the money to make a trip there and spend a few days relaxing in the warm salty waters that Hawaii has to offer.

The marketers of the world and advertisers seeking new customers will be targeting the NBA this weekend. That’s because the NBA playoffs start and this will last for over a month. It’s a fun time of the year for basketball fans all over the world and they get a chance to root for their favorite teams in post season. Even the NBA cities that don’t have a team in this year’s playoff race will adopt a team to root for in the NBA playoffs.

A big audience will tune in for these games and it should be interesting to see all the new TV ads. I’m sure a lot will appear this weekend and most people love the first few games of the playoffs. It does go downhill a bit in the coming weeks, but once champions are found in the Eastern and Western Conference and the two teams are announced for the championship series, it’s another opportunity for advertisers. Some will take advantage of this weekend and the championship series and others will target the whole post season created by the National Basketball Association.

I think the sports world loves the start of baseball and they just seen a great tournament in Augusta at the Masters. The Kentucky Derby is around the corner and all of this exciting sports action will be revolving around the NBA playoffs. The center of attention will be in the basketball world and this is the place every notable advertiser should be right now. Millions all over the world will be watching the NBA playoffs and this is a great marketing time. It all starts this weekend, so enjoy your basketball games and let me know if any TV commercials grab your attention this year.
