Healthcare Model Done Right
This Doc has figured out how to get free health care to the any employee of participating restaurants.

"Under the plan, he charges each restaurant a dollar each month for every seat in the establishment and pools the money. In return, any employee from those restaurants can visit him free of charge, whether for a cut finger or the flu."

Time to step it up Docs. If you don't the Government's going to be telling you what to do.

The quick specs are $3500, Top speed about 70 mph (so you can get on the freeway if you have to), around 80 mpg, and HP of about 20. For a monthly of around $60, sounds like a fun ride around town and definitely would be a fun cafe racer mod.

Review: Testing Sanyo's Eneloop Rechargeable Battery
I've been working have less waste coming out of the house and so I was trying got find a rechargeable battery that would work well. I found the Sanyo Eneloop that comes charged out of the box and stays charged much longer than the current competition. The pack I purchased includes a charger,AA, AAA batteries. It also includes C and D adapter in which the AA batteries are inserted. I don't think it would last as long as a true C or D, but it could be useful in a pinch. StefanV says they store even better in colder temps like a fridge or freezer, and because of their long energy storage qualities they can work well for long term devices like remote controls and clocks. LT approved.

After reading this kid's story it becomes all to clear. I don't know what he's done, but I know that no one deserve what happens to him. I know the bullies' parents should be blamed for failing as a parent, but there should be an upheaval of school employees(read:administration) that allow anything of this nature to go on during their watch. I have personally seen it happen before at California State Maritime Academy. These schools are just covering their own asses with no regard for what actually happens under their own noses.

California Lanesharing
I used to ride motorcycles and I'm planning to get back into it with a Hypermotard. If you're anywhere near a city metro area lanesharing is a must. The thing is that it is not legal or illegal, so don't be a retard and check these rules.

The generally “understood” guidelines seem to be:

* Travel no faster than 10 mph faster than the vehicles you’re lane-sharing with.
* Merge back in with the traffic when they reach 30-35 mph.
* Never exceed the speed limit.
* Lane-sharing between lanes #1 and #2 is preferred. (#1 being the “fast” or “inside” lane)
* Stay, more or less, in one lane or the other. Excessive meandering might get you cited. (CA code 21658)

Sounds reasonable, but some retard will mess it up for everyone.

On-board the yellow-bodied Kaossillator are 100 synth programs, derived from Korg's Modelling Synthesizer Engine, as well as Kaoss Pad-derived effects. Patches include a swathe of what Korg call "classic" synth sounds, plus "faithfully simulated" piano, guitar and trumpet sounds, and one-shot drums.

A gate arpeggiator with 50 different patterns can also be called upon to create rhythmic sounds, at user-specified tempos, and pitched patches can be set to play in 31 different scales in any key. The Kaossillator also has a loop recording mode, with which the user can build up a two-bar loop, using the unit's variety of sound sources.

Java Nap

Sleep: Reboot Your Brain with a Caffeine Nap
I've tried it and it works.

1. Right before you crash, down a cup of java. The caffeine has to travel through your gastro-intestinal tract, giving you time to nap before it kicks in.

2. Close your eyes and relax. Even if you only doze, you'll get what's known as effective microsleep, or momentary lapses of wakefulness.

3. Limit your nap to 15 minutes. A half hour can lead to sleep inertia, or the spinning down of the brain's prefrontal cortex, which handles functions like judgment. This gray matter can take 30 minutes to reboot.

RIP Colin McRae

The Times on Colin McRae
I didn't get to see him race much, but I do know he brought a lot to to rally racing and will be missed.

Colin McRae's tragic death last week has robbed motorsport of one of it's most charismatic and daring competitors...he will always be remembered for his titanic struggle with Spanish driver Carlos Sainz to become the first Briton to win the World Rally Championship in 1995 with an epic victory in the final round at the RAC Rally of Great Britain.

Now all of you who don't have the DS will be a little sadder. Jam Sessions is guitar for the DS that you play on the touch pad.

You change chords with the D-pad. The stylus can be strummed soft or hard, fast or slow. And the responsiveness was impressive, especially considering you're playing a pocket-sized system.

The Accuser: Southwest Airlines
The Victim Kyla Ebbert... You be the Judge
Southwest Airline tells woman her outfit won't fly
Southwest again distinguishes itself from other airline by not letting attractive people fly the unfriendly skies. Ground breaking business plans: first cattle call , now high school dress code enforcers. I've seen flight attendants with uniforms that were way to tight and no one told them to stop rubbing there fat asses on every innocent aisle seat customer or go home and change. Nice job Southwest, you get the LT questionable business practice of the week. Here are the links to Jet Blue and Virgin America for the smarter consumers.

The Chub (pictured in red) has left the building due to outsiders revealing his "secret shady life". He enjoyed 42 inch 1080p LCD flat panels TVs, video games involving vehicle theft, and doing blow off of hookers butts. He will be remembered for not really contributing to society and not caring that much about animal spaying and neutering.
His last last words were, "yeah... I don't know.... I like my drinks cheap and my women Furries"

More awesome brand-less shirts. This time from Oddica. The prices are a few more bills than Ten Bills and a bit more jokeless than Threadless has been as of late.

Nike Amp - Josh Spear
Here's a kinda cool addition to the Nike+ line. I don't really wear watches and I use an iMojo wristband, but those weren't the case I would probably get this.

At its most basic, the Amp is just a watch; link it to a Nike equipped iPod Nano, and it becomes a full-on control station for your wrist. Integrated into the Amp are all the normal iPod controls that you’d find on your Nano. Press a button, and information scrolls visually across a series of otherwise hidden LED’s embedded just beneath the surface plastic above the controls.

2008 Forester Sports 2.5 XT
Motortrend did one of their Demon Tweaks on a 2006 Forrester with good results. Most, if not all, of these upgrades should be applicable. The Sports XT Forrester, off the lot, is about $28,800 after the addition of a short throw shifter, boost gauge, and a few other small additions.

Our debut guinea pig is a 2006 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited, a vehicle we’ve admired for its roomy interior and punchy, 224-hp turbocharged engine. Although that engine is the same one found in the barn-burning WRX, the Forester XT has a suspension that’s too soft for our tastes. The mission, therefore, was to sharpen the handling with different tires and a retuning of the suspension. More power is never a bad thing, so we also cranked up the engine by increasing the turbo boost via a reprogrammed engine computer.

Our three-stage sharpening of the Forester cost us $1745...

Power (SAE net):224 bhp @ 5600 rpm
Modified 250 bhp @5600 rpm

Torque (SAE net):226 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm
Modified 238 lb-ft @ 3400 rpm
