Lasik is taking over
In the United States Lasik eye surgery is becoming a routine operation for many people. LeBron James who is the all star forward for the Cleavland Cavaliers just had his own Lasik eye surgery done by USAEyes, and he is playing basketball better than ever. One thing that people have begun to talk about is whether or not getting Lasik surgery is cheating or not, which is quite an interesting topic. After I thought about this question it did not take me very long to conclude that this is far from cheating and it should not even be something brought up against anyone who has the surgery done. So far this has been a great surgery that many swear by, and personally I do not see that issue at all. If I were to recommend one place to begin your Lasik eye surgery search it would definitely be the USAEyes specialists. This is a serious thing to consider, especially if you have been one of those people struggling with glasses your entire life. Don't waste anymore time, go out and check out Lasik refractive eye surgery. This post is sponsored by USAEyes!

The British are cleaning up
This British have just wrote about how they are cleaning up their air, and environment. The British have announced that they will be launching two brand new energy tariffs. The two tariffs that both deal with Zero Carbon. The tariffs will be the the greenest tariff available on the market. This is a very large step for the U.K. and we can only hope that they will influence the rest of the world with all of their green energy advancements! Below is the press release...
BRITISH GAS LAUNCHES GREENEST ENERGY TARIFF
9 August 2007: British Gas has announced it is launching two new green energy tariffs, Zero Carbon, which will be the greenest tariff available on the domestic market and Future Energy. British Gas has launched the tariffs, in response to the increasing demand for green energy products.
Householders signing up to the Zero Carbon tariff will:
• reduce their household energy carbon emissions to zero through Kyoto compliant offset schemes which will meet the new Defra requirements
• help fund a direct increase in investment in renewable energy generated in the UK
• contribute to the new British Gas green fund which will:
o invest in developing new renewable technologies such as wave power
o oversee a programme to help schools in the UK reduce their CO2 emissions
GearĂ³id Lane, Managing Director British Gas New Energy said,”Our new tariff responds to consumer demand for truly green energy solutions. It is essential that customers have confidence in green energy tariffs and that their credibility is not damaged by tariffs that claim to be green but in reality do not deliver any incremental environmental benefits. Green tariffs are moving from niche to mainstream products and we’re leading the industry by offering a tariff that will do more for the environment than any other product currently available.”
Under the government’s Renewables Obligation (RO), electricity suppliers in the UK are already required to produce an increasing percentage of their electricity through methods such as wind farms which, unlike traditional power plants, produce zero carbon emissions. For 2007/2008 this figure is set at 7.9%.
In a recent report, the National Consumer Council (NCC) raised concerns that some energy suppliers are packaging electricity which is produced under the RO scheme as “green”, yet it delivers no additional environmental benefits. The NCC called on energy suppliers to take steps beyond their legal requirements and offer green energy tariffs that provide genuine additional environmental benefits, in particular CO2 emissions reduction.
British Gas worked with Global Action Plan and The Climate Group’s “We’re in this Together” campaign to develop Zero Carbon which goes further than any other green tariff in meeting these requirements offering consumers the only zero carbon option on the market.
The tariff carries a premium of £84 per year, reflecting the higher cost of producing energy through lower carbon emission schemes.
Virginia Graham, Chair of Global Action Plan, said, “The British Gas Zero Carbon tariff delivers on all three of the essential requirements of a green tariff which are: additionality, transparency and verifiability. As such it is a very welcome new offering in the market. Consumers signing up to the tariff can be confident that they are getting 12 per cent more renewable energy than they would otherwise have got. The carbon emissions from their electricity and gas will also be offset with emissions reductions from projects accredited by the United Nations.”
Zero Carbon is one of the first initiatives launched through the ‘We’re in this Together’ campaign, which was launched in April 07 as an alliance of some of the UK’s biggest brands who are all working to help their customers reduce their impact on the climate.
Dr Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group and founder of ‘We’re in this Together’ said, “We’re committed to offering people ways to make a real impact on climate change through Together.com. We’ve worked with British Gas to ensure that Zero Carbon is a genuine step forward in delivering more environmental benefits than any other tariff currently available.”
British Gas’s second green energy tariff, Future Energy, offers an alternative green electricity tariff at a premium of just £20 per year. Customers signing up to this tariff will contribute to a green fund which will provide solar panels and other renewable energy technologies to UK schools. Money from the fund will also be invested in development of future renewable technologies and sources.

Are you Superbad?
The new movie Superbad is coming out in theatres and I could not be any more excited. Superbad is a movie about two high school guys who both have the main goal to hook up with girls before they go off to college. Now I know what you are thinking right now, the same as American Pie, but it is completely different. This story differs when after one crazy night when the two co-dependant high schooler's try to buy alcohol they realize that hooking up with girls is not their biggest issue at hand. The two friends discover that separation anxiety is the hardest thing that they will need to deal with. The movie has a very talented cast, and I suggest that everyone watch the trailer and see just how funny it is to be Superbad. The movie will be hitting theatres on August 17th, and I am happy to say that I will be there! You can see tons of funny clips from Superbad on either Superbadclips.com, AreYouSuperbad.com, or Youtube.com. All of these places will provide you will great clips and videos from Superbad. Don't waste anymore time sitting around, get up and go to the movie. Superbad is a great comedy and I am sure that it will see a great amount of sales!

Hit the gym!
I am a very athletic person and I love to stay in shape, and I am a very strong believer that if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend who is athletic and into fitness than you will be too. I am always doing something and I hate sitting around, and when I was looking on the computer the other day I found a site for singles who are looking for others who are interested in fitness. So if you are someone who is looking for fitness singles than I suggest you go to fitnessdates.com and set up a profile. The site is free and easy to use, and just think about about all the people you will meet, and the great shape you will be in! Stop wasting your nights being at home alone on the couch, and go online and meet some new people who are into fitness dating. who could change your life forever!
