The world of technology is changing fast. When I was young, it was not uncommon for tradespeople to use a horse and cart for local deliveries around town. Now, we have trains that ride on a magnetic field, jet aircraft and hybrid cars. The idea of a hybrid is quite fascinating. As a gardner, to be able to take two different species and create something new with the best qualities of both. As a technologist, to be able to take a conventional internal combustion engine and combine it with electric motors. Its like a marriage. When the two components work well together, they are strong. If theres disharmony, breakdown follows close behind. So whats driving this hybrid technology? The main reason is fuel economy. Gas prices have been rising fast with the $4 gallon reached and passed. Although some prefer to play around with biofuels to keep conventional engines running on greener fuel, the better strategy looks to use less fuel. Its now not uncommon for hybrid vehicles to achieve 50 mpg - a big improvement on the SUVs and Hummers. The retail prices have been quite high as the first of these new cars rolled out on to the public roads so, to encourage the switch to this more eco-friendly technology, there have been various federal and state tax incentives. Some states have been giving priority in the use of parking spaces or reductions in tolls. All these add up to big savings, which get even bigger when you look at the auto insurance industry. Many of the companies offering auto insurance have been offering a discount of up to 10% for those using the new technology. Using a site like this is the best way of shopping around to find out which company is offering the best rates. This is not a corporate policy to combat global warming. It reflects the reality that those who buy hybrid cars are more thoughtful and careful, buying a vehicle that is slightly less powerful than the conventional car, and one that will probably not be driven quite as many miles in a year as the conventional car. People who drive less powerful cars more slowly have fewer accidents and so justify lower premiums. Its sad that Detroit chose to stay with the gas-guzzler as the main product line. The big three U.S. car producers are facing an uncertain future as the hybrids grow more popular. If they survive the economic downturn, hopefully they can retool and compete in delivering this new technology. Until then, imported cars save money both at the gas pump and in reduced auto insurance premiums. They are a good buy.

Credit Crunch- bad for your fashion sense

  • Jun. 5th, 2008 at 8:41 PM



It’s ever so tempting to run into Primark on a daily basis and grab anything off the rails that looks remotely fashionable, but once your fix has worn off like a cheap sugar rush, you’re left with something that will not last beyond the next fashion season.
The triumph of Primark also happens to be its Achilles heel; particularly in relation to how their products are made and the potential backlash that they may face because of it. We’re all guilty of
hitting the shop for a cheap fashion fix, be it shoes; accessories or those ‘must have’ jeans. The initial effect of this fashion splurge is utter elation, because you’ve secured a whole new wardrobe for a rock
bottom price, and still have the power to dazzle for a fraction of the cost.
But what about the comedown? That inevitable crash you experience after every high, when you see half the population wearing what you thought was an exclusive find. Or when you find things aren’t quite the quality you expected, it unavoidably makes you feel like you’ve wasted money rather than invested it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of fast fashion and I think the high street has done a great job making women feel like they’re wearing designer labels, without the accompanying mortgage loan to pay for it. But something has to give sooner or later, and if this credit crunch is going to teach us anything, it’s how to shop within our means and how to look damn stylish in doing so.
So first of all, as boring as it may sound, invest in key pieces; this is a classic way to save money and still look good. A smart pair of tailored trousers, a selection of skirts (a-line, mini and full), a trendy trench coat and a fitted blouse are all looks that will never go out of style, no matter how you wear them.
The key is to accessorise with a clever waist-clinching belt, a heavy pendant necklace, chunky bangles or even a supersized or mini clutch; the choice is yours. Another great way to beat the crunch is to reorganise your wardrobe; simple, yet effective.
As soon as you start rummaging through all your old clothes, you will realise just how much stuff you have. It’s so easy to forget the amount of items we accumulate in a year and most of it thankfully, is still wearable on a daily basis.
Even raiding the vintage haunts and charity shops on the weekend has now become a classy way to shop, thanks to the likes of Sienna Miller and Aygness Deyn, who have championed the quirky and off-beat look from the start.
The hard fact is, we can’t control the rising costs of living in Britain, but at least we can go some way to facing ‘the crunch’ face on, looking nothing less than fabulous.
