Energy needed by a vehicle (Part 1)
How much energy does a vehicle use and why? A vehicle (your car) uses an enormous amount of energy to get us and our stuff around. Some seem to be confused about what those energy requirements are, or how that energy is used. So I thought I would try to clear the air on that subject. I will...

I’m into outsourcing now and crowd sourcing is also an idea that is playing in my mind because of the variety of results that you’ll get regarding a particular tasks that you want done.

It doesn't get better than this. Definitely not for the prudish or squeamish. This is an epic tale of lust, violence, sex and debauchery. Many will hate it, considering it nothing more than porn. However, I feel that its uncompromising look at sexual obsessions is one of it's most endearing qualities. Without a doubt you will not be able to take your eyes off the screen! Lavish and grand on every level!
