| What is YOUR Element? created with QuizFarm.com |
| You scored as WindYou are wind, an essential and loving element. You are quiet, and oppose fighting, unless in dire straits. People tend to associate wind with beauty, wind being one of the more calm elements holding a more serene aura than others. The only downfall with wind is that you’re extremely quiet, causing people to overlook you, and move onto the more blatant elements, such as lightening and fire. But when people look into wind, they find great qualities. |

Now that I’m taking a more serious look at ways to become “green” I am looking for websites that will help me figure out ways that I can become green. The only thing is, I don’t know where or what to look for. So as I usually do, I was bouncing around the web and I came across this website: Mashable which provides 80+ websites that can educate us all. Its got a listing of everything from choosing the right paper, to tv stations, and world hunger. It’s going to take me awhile to read all of these!
Enjoy!!

Everybody at one point in time has had the need to contact customer service. Sometimes you wind up talking to somebody that just refuses to help you out, or you dont get the outcome you wanted. Here are some tips that I’ve noticed I do that help me get the result I need.
1. If you’re an American, you typically want to talk to an American. No offense to those who arent, but we Americans appreciate our language and like to talk to those who can speak it very well. All too often we call customer service and talk to a foreigner who cant understand you. If this happens, just hang up. Call back. True, you may have waited an hour to talk to a rep but rather than be pissed off because you just spent the last hour waiting, and the next 30 minutes trying to get the rep to understand what you’re saying. You’ll be better off just spending the time calling them back. No offense to Dell, but they are terrible with overseas representatives. So it’s better to just call back and talk to somebody who can understand you.
2. If you call and you get somebody who you think speaks english correctly, but they sound like they were weened on a pickle hang up and try again. I really hate dealing with people who hate their job and dont give a darn if I get what I want. My tip here is call back until you get somebody nice. If you encounter a female, the best I’ve come across are those who are peppy and sound like they are kind. If you get a guy, you can tell by how he answers. If he’s like… Thanks for calling… how can I help you.. in a droning tone.. try again.. but if he’s all Hey, thanks for calling! My name’s Dave how can I help you today!? If they are all “peppy” and seems like they are full of energy, you typically have a better chance of getting your issue resolved.
3. If you call and you get this far, but they cant do what you want them to, keep insisting that they give you the service you need. If you’ve got documentation that says you are entitled to something quote it to them. Say something like, “In section 5, paragraph two it says here that I get a free replacement.” there is little they can say. If you continue to give you hassle, ask to speak to their supervisor. But the important thing is to remain calm. Try very hard to not raise your voice or start sounding like a jerk. Rudeness is only met with rudeness. You win more bees with honey than vinegar. When talking to the supervisor, be to the point. Dont tell your whole story all over again. Just say something to the effect of this “Hi Mark, my phone stopped working a week after I got it. I really need this phone for work and I need you to replace it as soon as you can.” Sometimes they will try to get you to pay for it, but if you’ve not done anything to break it (aka not your fault) tell them that the phone is dysfunctional and that you should be entitled to a free replacement. You should never have to pay for anything that wasnt broken by any fault of yours.
4. If all else fails, yell at them. Just kidding. I would just say “You know what, dont worry about it. Just forget I ever called.” and hang up. If you’re really pissed off, wait an hour or two and call them back. Just because you spoke to Mark the supervisor does not mean you will get him again. Often times if you call back there will be a new shift and you’ll get somebody else. You can tell them that you had a terrible experience with a representative earlier today and you need to talk to somebody who actually cares about what’s going on. Sometimes they will say “I’m sorry about that, what seems to be going on.” Play the sympathy card!! If you can get them to feel sorry for you because you’ve had a terrible time there is a chance they will waive any charges or credit your account.
I hope this helps get you better results. It works for me, and can take some patience but I think it’s worth it in the long run.

This is something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite awhile now. I just recently came across a book discussing how to do this sort of thing. While solar energy is not yet as efficient as we would like it to be, we do have options for using wind power to power our homes. If you get the setup and gear, you *could* sell back your credits for actual money. If you’re looking for other options for generating power, head over to instructables.com and do a search for generator. You’ll be impressed.

Toyota’s
ultimate goal is to eliminate all traffic deaths, and while that might
be a bit of a pipe dream at the moment, the company seems to think its
latest driving simulator
should help it in that noble cause. It’s supposedly the world’s “most
true-to-life” driving simulator in the world, and is meant to help
develop new safety features. Housed in a warehouse in Japan, the system
features a 360-degree screen and some quite impressive tilting
mechanism, allowing Toyota engineers to assess how drivers perform
under certain conditions while avoiding all that nasty mangled metal.
