Rome 3, EPCOT 1
2008-03-08 21:49:00 Spring Break In Rome (Continued)The Church History class I took last semester focused largely on ancient Rome, and one thing my professor told us really stuck me. He said that the roads that were built for ancient Rome still exist, and that often times when there is construction on one of the more modern bridges, the detour usually re-routes traffic over the ancient bridges because the engineers know those bridges are sturdy.Things here are built to last. On our ride from the airport on our first day we are passing edifices that are thousands of years old ? in America something is old is it over a hundred. Buildings now are erected out of glass and steel with basic geometric shapes; the olden days featured an intricacy and grandeur not seen in ages. Recently I remarked to a friend about the sense of awe I experienced when visiting Hoover Dam; he remarked that he didn?t think that we had that kind of greatness in us anymore ? that if something like that needed to be commissioned ...

Chevy Volt could get a featured spot at Epcot Center
2007-11-26 00:26:00 Back in the 1990s, the GM EV1 was featured in one of the attractions at Epcot Center at Disney World in Florida. Once the EV1 was pulled off the roads the Epcot attraction was also replaced. As GM keeps the hype going for their next electric car, the range extended Volt, they may sponsor a new ride at the Disney theme park featuring the new car. Placing a Volt at Epcot could make it visible to a lot of people who don't go to auto shows or read car magazines or websites. The only problem with all this attention is that it could seriously backfire if GM runs into any technical difficulties with the lithium ion battery packs that cause a program delay.
