The Amazing Kia Rio Adventure Hunt

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am into a Car Rental and Travel business. Most of my clients love thrills and adventures. Every moment counts and matters most to them. Thus, to make their visit more memorable I offer them the best service and of course the best car that they will use.
Just in time, my friend shared with me about the Kia Rio Adventure Hunt. Wherein, Kia will send to sets of best friends on the Zip and Dash to Los Angeles geocache challenge to participate in the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door face up. Contestants will be riding a sleek high tech yet user friendly vehicle and utilize its awesome features like the Bluetooth system, rear camera display, innovative USB input jack and the latest UVO Technology to make their way through L.A.
What’s the prize? To meet Christina Milian! Excited? Just relax.
Now the contestants will be roaming around:
The Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round which has been a historic landmark in LA since 1937. This is also known to be the place where Walt Disney first brought his children before Disneyland exists.
Aside from the historic Griffith Park, contestants will also go to Amoeba Records where you can find rare vinyl, CDs, tapes, music memorabilia’s and if you're lucky you enough you can watch a live show.
Contestants will also visit the most expensive and swanky shopping center in Beverly Hills and that is Rodeo Drive.
After three destinations contestants are surely hungry thus they will also visit the hotdog gallery of L.A. and that is Pink’s Hotdogs. Hotdogs serve are named after Hollywood’s celebrities.
The last and definitely not the least contestants will visit and have some fun at the Roosevelt Hotel just in the middle of Hollywood Blvd and is home to both history and the best parties in L.A.
To sum up, I think this Kia event is an experience of a lifetime that everybody will surely wants to participate. Not just because of the prize but of the experience that the contestants will surely treasure for the rest of their lives.
Among the challenges mentioned I love the one in Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round. It’s more challenging and a little tricky to find something in the middle of a wide and crowded area.
For more information about this Kia Rio event, here's the video. You can also check out the Rio Explorer Page for more exact details.

Finished watching the video? What do you think of the Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt? If Kia dares you to participate will you grab it? I will surely join especially if the prize is Wentworth Miller! 

Iran Oil Ministry Reports Cyberattack on Kharg Island

Reports coming from Kharg Island, a sea port for Iranian oil export, detail a suspected cyberattack on the island's main crude export terminal. This news released on the morning of April 23, 2012, have been confirmed by Iran's oil ministry, further stating that it was the target of malware attacks over the latest weekend. This attack lead to the main export terminal being disconnected from the internet. Other than access for workers and oil field equipment companies, the location has been placed on complete lockdown.


Kharg Island has been a major location in the history of the Iranian oil industry for quite a long period of time. Originally the island was established by the Dutch Empire as a trading post that was also used as a fort. However in 1766, only 13 years after it's creation, the fort was captured by Mir Mahanna, the governor of Bandar Riq. From then the island went on to become a principal sea terminal for Iranian oil, and was the largest offshore crude oil terminal until the facilities were put out of comission in 1986. The air forces of the Iraq government bombed the island during the Iran-Iraq War, all but destroying most of the main terminal facilities. With the slow recovery and recent purchases of oilfield equipment, one could speculate that there will indeed be an increase of activity at Kharg Island, most likely as a location for further crude oil exchanges between Iran and other oil laden countries.

Make life easier with oleophobic coated eyeglasses

Though all of the human sense organs are as important as their function but people often chose the eye as the most important of all. I heard my cousin said that he would rather get amputated than getting blind. He is a diabetic and his eyes are prone to get cataracts and glaucoma. Aside from his usual diabetic diet and regular eye check-ups he also make sure that he wears great eye glasses. He told me that he doesn’t worry much because Zenni Optical provides the best, affordable and stylish eye glasses and contact lenses. He is telling me more about Zenni Optical and that makes me curious, so I checked on it and I am greatly amazed. 

   

I learned that Zenni Optical is the #1 online eyeglasses store offering high-quality prescription eyeglasses. They even have $6.95 prescription glasses available! The affordability of their product is packaged with great quality, durability, style and comfort to the one who wears it. 

Zenni Optical has wide selection of products available. They’ve got sizes for both adults and children. They also got glasses with rims and rimless type of different shapes sizes and colors.They even have goggles and sunshades! Their lens includes regular prescription lenses as well as bifocal, trifocal and no line bifocal. 

What make me more curious are their lenses with Oleophobic coating. It has fingerprint resistance and effectively repels water and dust. It is also easier to clean and stays clearer compared to conventional lenses. With its AR coating, it has an anti-reflective component against headlights reflections when driving and camera flash during photograph moments plus it is also less noticeable. 

To order you just have to go to Zenni Optical website and provide specific information from your optometrist including your eyeglasses measurements. You can click on the link Finding Correct Size for further assistance regarding your correct fit.
