This past February at the Skiing World Championships in France the US Ski Team wore cool looking, state of the art, literally art, blue and white racing suits with the images of ice chucks floating in the ocean.

Energy Expert
Today I decided to do something different and write about the creator of the Energy Talking Points (EnergyTalkingPoint.com), the 43-year-old American Duke University graduate and author, Alex Epstein (alexepstein.com).

A Roller Coaster Ride
Who doesn’t like roller coasters? I must admit I am a roller coaster junkie.

90 Percent Break Through
What do you think of when I say 90 percent? An ‘A’ in a class? A bargain retail sale? Perhaps a math problem? Sadly, the 90 percent I’m referring to isn’t indicative of something positive.

Winter officially begun December 21; however, mother nature did not wait for this day. She had already wreaked havoc across the world, especially in Europe and the US.
