My mom and dad are always doing something to improve their home. My dad owns his own business, he designs mosaics, lays tile, and installs granite counter-tops. You need heavy-duty equipment in his line of work and he says the 12v autoselect  Cordless drill is the perfect tool for the job. He uses this drill around the house to complete those side projects that mom is always asking him to do. Gosh mom, how many pictures can a man hang in a day!

Seriously though, this drill has many attributes that make it a cut above other 12v powered Cordless drill. For one thing, it has autoselect technology for drilling into wood, metal, masonry, or concrete. This is perfect for my dad because he never know what type of material he will be working with. It also has hamering action that makes it easier to drill into masonry and concrete. It has a single sleeve metal keyless chuck that make changing bits simple and less time consuming. Another great thing about this drill is that it has a batteey level indicator that lets you know how much battery life you have at all times.

I will definately consisder buying this drill for my next home project. My dad uses it and if it is good enough for his home and his business it is good enough for me.

So at the beginning of this year’s Olympics I didn’t believe all the hype about China using underage girls in their gymnastic team. Now it seems I should have been paying attention more closely. I read today that more evidence has come out to support this claim. A gymnast competing in the Olympics has to be sixteen the year that the Olympics takes place. The girl in question is one He Kexin was reported to be 14 by a government web page that was brought down and re-posted with different dates later. All of this could lead to four of China’s medals being in jeopardy. Beside He, two of China’s other gymnasts are under scrutiny and a full investigation is under way. More on this as the matter develops.

Fianlly the last medals for gymnastics. These are all women’s events if you are interested in how the men did refer back to my previous blogs.

In the Trampoline event china took gold, Canada won the silver and Uzbekistan came in third. Next is the Uneven Parallel Bars China won gold again, Nastia Liukin won silver for America, and bronze went to Yinlin Yang of China. An upset for China, Romania won gold, in the Floor Exercise, and the US picked up silver and bronze respectively going to Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. Finally , in the Horse Vault, North Korea won the gold, Germany was awarded silver, and China rounded out the podium with the bronze.

of the gymnastic medal standing. As usual I will start with the men’s events and then move to the women’s.

Now the United Stated did not place in any of these events so if that’s all you care about read my next post which will have the women’s standings. In the Men’s Horse Vault, Poland took first, France came in second, and Russia finished with bronze. In the Men’s Rings event, China went one-two for the silver and gold with the Ukraine winning the bronze. Next in line is the Pommel Horse competition where China again took gold. For the silver we have Filip Ude of Croatia and bronze went to Louis Smith of Great Britain. China won gold one more time in the men’s competition with th Floor Exercise. Silver was awarded to Spanish gymnast, Gervasio Defer, while bronze was won by Russia.

I am a person that likes to know how things work, especially in the human mind and body. That is why when I stumbled across the heart library I was excited to share this site with others. Cardiac Arrest doesn’t run in my family, but I do have a couple of nervous disorders and stress is something that can bring on a heart attack. The heart library has plenty of interactive video that provide information on the heart, how it works, some of the things that can go wrong, and how to prevent them. If you are like me, and want to know how things work, you should go check it out.
