One of Yaakov's pet topics is peak oil. For those not familiar, it's the fact that there's a limited supply of global oil resources. Yaakov has been following this for a couple of years already.
I started thinking about this on Friday, as I sat in the carpool line at school. Practically every single car was a mini-van or other large size gas-guzzler (mine included). I thought to myself, "Man, this carpool line alone is sucking up the world's oil supply!"
I don't know when G-d is gonna shut the valve - but I do know that I'm not ready!
You know who is? The AMISH! They don't depend on oil, nope. They grow their own produce and live in their non-electrified homes. They're happily driving their buggies, being self-sufficient. When the world collapses in chaos over natural resources, Amos is gonna be sipping lemonade in his cabbage field.
There's an old yiddish saying; "Men tracht un Got lacht" - Men plan and G-d laughs. There's a rich addendum; "and chassidim laugh along."
Well, the Amish are gonna be laughing over this one.
Love, Maven @

Peak oil is a ridiculous theory. There is actually more available now than there was when in the 70s when people first started talking about it running out.
As oil gets more expensive it becomes practical to extract it from previously unprofitable sources (like deep sea drilling or oil sands). The only reason the price of oil is so high is because so many people want it NOW and there isn't a lot of refinery capacity available.

To ensure targeted traffic to your website, design and style it for humans, not bots or online crawlers. Inside the fixation to position full of search engine rankings, many web developers have overlooked to create for human beings. It makes no difference how higher your rank is on the search engines, if you do not actually get individual website traffic. It is actually people that create income.

Be sure to only use unique content. Using the same idea and re-wording it is fine making use of exactly the same report and putting up it on many different content websites might get you a fees for replicate articles from search engines like yahoo. Don't permit all your hard work get wasted. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Cakg44452e[/url]

Employ a legal professional. Filing for bankruptcy does not require a legal representative, but a legal representative helps to make the method much easier. It gives you some degree of comfort to know, which a specialist is going to be dealing with your situation. Invest some time, and judge an attorney with a lot of experience in the field.
