Brooke Double R – Sports Car That Looks Like A Racer

Sneaking into the group of small but incredibly fast sports cars is the Brooke Double R. It was launched a while ago, but has been updated and improved by a couple of experienced engineers, and this lovely and tiny car is now in production. You get tremendous acceleration and cornering for your money.

Performance is sensational, and depends how much power you want. The most powerful Brooke Double R – 300 bhp – has a claimed 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds, while 260 bhp will get you to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, and all the excitement that goes with that performance. To match it you will need a Noble M400 or Porsche 911 Turbo.

Clearly, the Brooke Double R is a real firecracker. The fact that the top speed is only about 155 mph – the same speed that many a supercar is limited to electronically – is not what it's about. It is acceleration, braking and cornering that gives the real thrill of driving fast, and you will get it here.

Wild Rice | Eat The Weeds and other things, too

Wild Rice: Male flowers droop, the female flowers are erect.

Love and marriage, horse and carriage, Zizania and canoe… not exactly lyrical but you get the idea. If you want Wild Rice you have to go where the Wild Rice is, and that's in water, not greatly deep water, but water nonetheless. Emergent is the word.

Truth be known Wild Rice, Zizania aquatica, is not rice and often not wild particularly if you buy it in a store. But those are quibbling points. It's a popular and delicious grass grain, fairly easy to collect — if you know the technique — and nutritious as well. It was the staple of many Native America tribes, particularly in northern climates. They fought wars over it. Wild Rice is one of my favorite wild foods though locally we are on the very end of its range.

why do popes change their names?

Mad to Sad to Glad: A Portrait of Powerful Preaching and its Effects, Based on the Gospel for the 4th Sunday

There are four aspects of powerful preaching displayed by Jesus in this passage. As such, Jesus is not just a powerful preacher himself, but also models what it means to be a powerful and effective preacher.

In using the word "preacher" here we ought to be careful not to reduce preaching merely to what takes place in a church. For surely the clergy have churches in which to preach. But every Catholic parent ought also to learn from Jesus here, for they have the church of their home in which to preach, and the pulpit of the dining room table, the living room, or even the family car. Therefore we must all learn from Jesus' model of being a powerful preacher and teacher. Note then, three basic qualities of Jesus as a preacher and teacher:

I. PERSONAL - The text says, Then they came to Capernaum, and on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

(The picture at the upper right is a picture of me and fellow parishioners standing of the ruins of the synagogue mentioned here. It is a very moving thing to stand atop the foundational ruins of the synagogue where Jesus preached both this sermon and the Bread of Life Discourse. Some of the ruins are later than Jesus' time but the foundations are clearly from that time. Amazing).

Note that the text says that Jesus spoke "with authority." The Greek word translated here as "authority" is ἐξουσίαν (exousian) meaning, at its root, "to (speak) out of one's being or substance." In other words, one speaks of what he experientially knows. He is not simply quoting what others say, neither is he merely quoting slogans and common sayings.

Jesus is distinguished from the Scribes who were famous for quoting each other and reputable and safe sources only. Of itself, this is good. But if it merely stops there, what makes preaching different from staying home a reading a book?

Too many Christians, including Catholic preachers, are content to live and preach by inference rather than experience. Too many are content to repeat what others have said, rather than to speak out of what they personally know, have seen and experienced.

Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways
I can't count how many days you weren't here
The walls were closing in on me
But I don't live in there, no more

There's a place in my head
That repeats what you said
That repeats what you said that day

You're afraid the mistakes that you made
Dug your grave but baby
That's the price you pay

So don't shut down this town
Ain't big enough for both of us, whoa

And now I've found
You'll never get enough from me
So, baby, I'm a set you free
Yeah I'm a set you free

how does algae reproduce

Algae's Biofuel Bloom

Hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was covered with shallow oceans filled with algae and other simple critters.

As landmasses shifted and grew, water was displaced, leaving thick masses of algal residue that were eventually buried and compressed.

Skip forward a few eons, throw in some heat and pressure and ta da . . . oil.

Then, in 1859, Colonel Drake drilled the first oil well in Titusville, PA, unleashing not only oil, but an economic juggernaut that would dictate our way of life for years to come.

The world began to use oil for everything from fuel to waterproofing, and since then has consumed over a trillion barrels. With such furious consumption--and no way to make more--world oil reserves are set to dwindle.

Essentially, we're going to deplete in less than 300 years what took hundreds of millions of years to form. And with the depletion of oil, alternatives are destined to emerge.

And, ironically, algae is one of them.

Biofuel Bliss

Research like that being done at the Colorado State University's (CSU) Engines and Energy Conservation Laboratory and the University of New Hampshire (UNH), suggests that algae could supply enough fuel to meet all of America's transportation needs in the form of biodiesel.

That's right . . . all of it!

Best Ways to Use Decorative Window Film

Many homeowners have recently become aware of terms like solar screens, window tinting, and window film that seem to be gaining in popularity over the past few years. If you have researched these things even a little then you probably know that most solar screens or kinds of window film are applied to the exterior of a window and mainly have a single use. This is not the same as decorative window film.

The first difference is that it is applied to the interior of a window and has a variety of uses. You can apply films simply for decoration or you can also use it for heat control, UV ray protection, increased privacy, or to cut down on glare. Because of this wide range of uses there are also a lot of colors, styles, and options to choose from.
