The Maple trees, obviously affected by the unusually warm winter we have experienced this year have started to run...

If you haven't experienced the tapping of Maple trees and the production of Maple syrup, perhaps you can take advantage of the mild weather this year and join in the fun at a local festival in Ontario.

Yokohama's new green tire is ORANGE! - 02/23/12 06:48 AM
YOKOHAMA's new GREEN tire is ORANGE!!! Yokohama has just introduced the World's first mass-produced tire using Orange Oil technology. Infusing the natural and synthetic rubbers with orange oil, which is extracted from orange peels, Yokohama says the resultant tire attains longer tread life, better road handling and better fuel consumption. Apparently Orange Oil extends the life and wear of the rubber allowing Yokohama to offer unlimited mileage warranties for four years (for V-rated tires), five years (for H-rated tires), or six years (for T-rated tires). Better fuel consumption is achieved through the reduction of friction (which reduces rolling resistance). This technology … (19 comments)

How do you Pray? - 02/19/12 06:40 AM
Let me begin this by saying that I get the feeling that "Prayer" seems to be out of the limelight and in the shadows at the present time. It seems to me, that for the last generation or two, our governments and the media has taken huge steps to keep faith out of the mainstream. I remember my father telling me that sometimes people tend to forget God in the "good times", and fall back on God during trials and times of despair. My personal faith has not always been steady. There have been ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys. I … (9 comments)
