moving companies
Graduation’s coming up! I get to look forward to so many things –
getting a job, saying “screw you” to school, and moving out! I
have no idea where I’ll end up moving, but I do
know that wherever I go, I’m going to love it. Hopefully I’ll be
able to move in with a friend or two and take a few years to enjoy
myself and get settled into a new job. Moving though… such a
hassle. I don’t really mind having to box things up and move them,
but when it gets to be of this magnitude, it becomes really
hectic. If I was just moving a room or two I could probably get it
done myself in a day or two, but moving most of my things will
probably require a truck
rental or calling some moving
companies. However! I really don’t know if I have enough to
warrant using any of the moving companies around here when I could
just get a few friends together and buy them food/beer. It’ll be
infinitely cheaper, even with the truck rental. I just hope that
there’ll be enough space in the new place (wherever it’ll be) for
all of my stuff. Who knows. As long as I have room for my
computer, a desk, and my videogames, I’ll be okay, haha. That, and
my cooking stuff. Maybe I’ll grab one of those portable
storage thingies. We could probably split the cost and then
use it together. It’s more convenient that way, anyways. Is it
“anyway” or “anyways”? I don’t think it really matters too much,
but I’d really like to know. I think that anyway is more
grammatically correct while anyways is more embedded in our
vernacular. Ah crap. You know, the more I think about it, I’m
starting to grow up. It sucks, haha. I just realized that what was
once the best part about moving into a new place (awesome
housewarming party!) is going to be something I will desperately
try to avoid so that I can live somewhere respectable. Oh well.
Exchanging one thing for the other, I guess. Now where’s that
truck….

orlando investment property
Investing In Orlando Real Estate
Investing
in Orlando Real estate has become quite a lucrative
option because of many reasons. The region has a tourist based
economy that attracts inward investment. Because of economic
issues in Orlando, the real estate market is quite defensive.
Both investment and demand come from within Orlando. The
stability of the real estate market of Orlando makes it an
attractive opportunity and the diversity in population adds up
to the demand.
Walt Disney is located in Orlando, which is a popular tourist
attraction all over the world and is a major cause for real
estate investment in Orlando. In recent times, costs of houses
and land property have seen an upward movement in Orlando. There
are alluring properties at attractive prices in Orlando that are
not easy to ignore. You can invest in buying a property in
Orlando. It will add value to your property, so that later you
can sell it at a better price and thus bring liquidity to
yourself. You could even buy properties with a view of renting
them. You can rent your property to regular tenants as well as
to tourists. This way your income will keep rolling and you will
earn manifolds in a few years.
There are few points to be kept in mind, before investing in Orlando
Real estate . Do not invest money in costly
purchases like electronics or furniture before sealing a deal of
any property. If you invest in purchases through credit card,
you increase your risk of credit worthiness. Most of the banks
will refer to your bank balance, before approving any mortgage.
You should also avoid hopping from one job to the other.
Sometimes lenders check your job history, to grant loans. If you
keep swapping jobs, it will show that you are not stable at any
job and hence will reduce your chances of getting a loan. You
might also face difficulty, while applying for a loan due to an
unstable career graph.
Lenders sometimes need to assess your loan package. If you keep
shifting your money from one bank to the other, you might once
again face problems. You need to produce bank statements of your
savings, check accounts and liquid assets. Another factor that
you should keep in mind is not to pay for property that you feel
is overpriced.

vacation rentals
Everyone my family decides to take a trip to a foreign country.
We have visited every continent except Antarctica. It would not
be very fun to visit that continent, but it would be exciting to
tell everyone you went there. Anyway, I have physically stepped
foot on each of the other six continents and I mean other than
just time spent transferring at various airports. It is a fun
family tradition. I have seen a lot of beautiful places and met
even more interesting people along the way. Since we are
traveling so far away for our trips, we like to stay at least
for two weeks. This gives us a good amount of time to visit the
country or neighboring countries if that is possible. Therefore,
we like to find homes that we can use as vacation
rentals. Hotels usually cost way too much and are too
commercialized. We would much rather stay in a home that also
provides a better perspective into the culture of the region.
Although we do like to stay in nice places, we prefer to rent
homes. The homes always seem to have that extra sense of culture
that we enjoy experiencing as tourists. Plus, since we are there
for two weeks, it enables us to settle down a little bit and
feel at home as opposed to being in an empty hotel room. It was
my sister’s idea a few years back. She hated that we always
stayed in hotels which were usually in the cities and we never
got to experience the feel of the countryside. My parents really
liked the suggestion and decided to make it a priority on our
trips to stay in a rental. If it was possible and within a
reasonable distance, which in most cases it is easy to find vacation
rental homes, we would stay in one of them. Ever since, our
trips have been very enjoyable. We leave feeling more a part of
the country than just some tourists who decided to stop by for a
while. You appreciate the place more and really get a better
sense of what life is like in that particular country. We try to
cook and live in much the same conditions as a traditional
native family.

Debt free
Recently I have been under a little bit more stress than I think
I can handle. I am currently still taking on my full time
credit load at school, as well as running my newly opened Yoga
Studio. I know it may sound a little silly that the yoga
instructor is stressed out, but any business owner in twice the debt
consolidation and get myself to where I feel comfortable in
my schedule. It has always been part of my personality to worry
about money and try my best not to become even remotely broke.
Now when I decided to go to college I knew I would chalk up a
fair amount of debt. At the same time I also knew that I
wouldn't have to pay any of that off until I had a stable job
that paid well. When I decided to open up the studio during my
junior year, was when I really began to have problems. Now I
have gotten to a point where I will either need to raise prices
on my classes, get another job, or close the studio for my last
semester. So since this situation became apparent I have been
working like a crazy person to use debt
consolidation and get all of it under control. Every week I
go over my books and decide on how many days I should stay open
at the studio, i need to be debt
free. From these session I also have to consider skipping
some classes to pick up work shifts or hold more classes.
Needless to say, I have been on a bit of a roller coaster this
year with all of the different pressures I've put upon myself.

university directory
This week I had a bit of trouble. Between this week and next
week is when all the teachers on campus give their midterms.
I don't know if that's how it is at other universities
but here is is like clockwork. The only problem for me came
when I realized that I had all six of my midterms this week,
the last of which is tomorrow. I have been studying for all
six of these finals for about two weeks straight. With only
one left, I don't feel any less stressed to my limit. If
anything I won't be able to calm down until I go to bed
tomorrow night. On wednesday I had the most major freakout I
have had since I started school. I was supposed to take my
history exam but the professor had changed the room for the
exam because there is construction going on in the building
and they wanted to do something inside of our classroom. So
he had switched the location about two weeks ago. In my
infinite wisdom and countless hours of studying, forgot to
remember or even write down the new building and room number.
So when I walked in to my classroom twenty minutes before the
exam was set to start and it was filled with about ten
construction workers and a cloud of white dust, I realized my
error. Since I commute by bike every day about ten miles,
there was absolutely no way I was going to go home and get
back in time to make the exam. So I had to run to the library
and frantically search through the university
directory to find my history professor's
contact info. After finding it and calling him about six
times he finally picked up and told me where to be. I got to
the room only about ten minutes late and feel I actually did
well on the test. With all the other things I needed to think
about this week, that was the last thing that I would have
wanted to happen. Now with one exam left for tomorrow I have
stopped studying and have left it up to my own faith in the
material because I need to get at least one good night of
sleep this week.

left hand drive car
I was sitting in my college dorm room the other day when my
roommate and I had the strangest discussion. The topic that so
heavily occupied our interest on this particular rainy weekday
afternoon had to do with driving cars. It was not a discussion
of what car we like the best or which car can go the fastest.
Instead, it was about driving on the right or left
hand side driving. We were curious as to which way seemed
the most practical, or did it really matter in the first place.
My roommate and I were watching a foreign film and we could not
help but notice that the characters were driving on the right
hand side of the road. It is a startling sight when you first
make such an observation. You think cars are going to run into
each other. Plus, if you take a quick glance, it looks like no
one is driving the vehicle. Automatically, as a driver in the
States, you expect to see the driver on the left hand side of
the car. It does not add up otherwise since we are so readily
exposed to something different. We knew in some foreign
drivers drove on the other side, but it was just striking to
actually see someone driving in this unusual fashion. Obviously,
the two of us have always been exposed to a left
hand drive car. It was rare to see something that
contradicted the way we had always known; and, honestly, taken
for granted. For some reason, we could not get over the fact
that cars were going down the road in the opposite direction as
we normally see on the highway. I would definitely have trouble
driving a car on the other side of the road. The turning would
be very awkward and unnatural compared to what I have been doing
for so long. I do not know what I would do if the steering wheel
was on the other side of my used
left hand drive. Sadly, until we travel to one of these
foreign places and get the opportunity to drive on the other
side of the road we are doing to be stuck with our used
lhd cars. That is definitely something to look forward to,
however, when we do go overseas.

Spring break
I can’t wait for Spring Break. It’s not too far away now I guess,
but I’m not going to follow up last year’s drinking fest quite so
hard. A couple of years back I ended up totally drunk in Daytona
Beach FL. with a couple of buddies, including none other than Nathan
Billiton. It was a great couple of days, just a shame it didn’t
really last much longer. Afterwards I just felt totally tired out as
well – but I guess that’s what three days of seriously hard partying
will do to you! I’m not one of those people who go on alternative
Spring breaks like a Martin Luther King march (think that’s a little
too serious) but I thought I’d do something a little more
interesting than the traditional get wasted.

Compare hotel rates
This year has been so much fun. I still have a few months left in
the semester but I feel that it will be much of the same. I never
thought George Mason would be
this fun the way all of my teachers and my parents told me about how
different and how much more work I would have to do when I got there.
Now that I have been here for about six months I see that it is a lot of
work, but it is also so much fun. I am not a sports fan or a drama club
kind of person, but I am a school person. I have found it to be so much
more interesting to learn here what I never would have seen in any of my
high school books. There also the freedom that I feel from my parents
and my childhood. I am starting to feel like a real adult here. Though
my parents still pay all of my bills and call me once a week to make
sure everything is going well, I still feel like I have a huge amount of
responsibility on my shoulders. I mean I have to make sure that I get
all of my work done and that I don’t overcharge my Visa card and I don’t
screw up any of my tests. That is a huge responsibility compared to
what I had to do last year. Now I am even trying on a bigger
responsibility; I am planning my first vacation for myself. I told my
parents that I would do everything from comparing hotel rates, to the
actual hotel reservation. So I have been using Google
a lot. Once I have the whole trip I will turn over the bills
to them and they will foot the whole bill. I have never had to compare
hotel rates or search for plane tickets so all of this will be
a big learning experience for me. I have even decided that I will try
to do the responsible thing and try to find the best hotel
deals so that my parents have less weight to bear for this
trip. I haven’t quite decided where I am going to go yet but I am sure
that there are plenty of places for me to go in the world. I think I
will consider Thailand.

debt consolidation
And since the circle continues, I start looking more and more into
zero percent annual percentage rate balance transfers, more credit cards
with low introductory APR, and so forth. As if I am not able to take an
active approach and say, “I am not going to spend more until I earn
more”, but, rather, just follow my desires, spend, and then resort to
more and more debt
consolidation. You feel powerless. Powerless in front of your
own desires, lack of strong will, or whatever else that be. It is as if
money indirectly, is a magnet that if you do not spend it, then you feel
as if you missed something in your life. For a long period of time, I
was not able to understand why a lot of times, women, especially,
resorted to shopping therapy. I mean, I could not even understand what
shopping therapy was. Now, having gone through some stressful moments in
my life, and having experienced what those women usually experience (as
I think), I understand that sometimes…in my case, often times…shopping
therapy is really part of a huge vicious circle, where stress over lack
of money and too much debt causes me to act unwillingly and resort to
shopping therapy, spending more, getting more into debt. I realize,
sometimes, debt is unavoidable, like, urgent car repairs, certain
necessary travel, education, and so forth. However, when it is
avoidable…again, how can I define “avoidable”? Is shopping therapy
avoidable? Or, are the consequences of not resorting to this type of
“treatment” worse…Do they cost more than the therapy itself? Or, is
shopping therapy even therapy? How therapeutic it is? Is it more
therapeutic than bill consolidation itself? And is debt
help, like bill
consolidation, even help? I wonder, frequently, what debt help
does. I am sure that the obvious benefit is that it creates some sort of
control in a person’s life – the person knows exactly how much he or she
is going to be paying per month for all the incurred expenses. But a bit lower
payment, is that control? Or is that another burden that,
instead of being spread out is just all at once, consolidated?

Employee assistance
An employee assistance program
can be a vital link in the chain that is your company’s wellness
program. With so many of today’s employees working in such close
proximity to one another, conflicts and disputes are bound to
happen. There will occasionally be flareups and disagreements among
employees. Your firm’s employees may be like family, but families
sometimes argue. If it goes beyond a simple argument, outside
intervention may be in order. An employee assistance program can
help.
An EAP program can provide
psychological counseling to employees who may have interpersonal
problems or other issues to work through. If a supervisor sees an
employee exhibiting signs of stress or some other turmoil, he or she
can suggest the employee contact the EAP administrator for a
referral to someone who can help. It’s up to the employee whether
or not they want to avail themselves of the help, but stressed out
employees will usually grab onto an offered lifeline and willingly
accept help.
An EAP has a list of EAP providers
who can assist with whatever problems the employee may be
experiencing. Whether it’s divorce, chemical dependency, or they
just need someone to listen, qualified help is always as close as
the nearest telephone.
If your employees are experiencing problems at work, they’ll
frequently take them home to their families – or bring family
problems to work, which can result in potentially disastrous
problems. Providing EAP
services to your employees makes good fiscal sense, because the cost
is nominal, and the improved productivity of your employees as well
as the boost to morale will make the financial cost seem like a
prudent investment in one of your best assets – your human resources.
Once an employee receives a referral for EAP services, they’ll
contact the provider, who will always be a well-trained professional
who can listen and help with whatever is wrong emotionally or
psychologically. Whether your employee needs to vent or needs help
with anger management issues, your professional EAP
counselor can help return the affected employee to full
productivity in no time.
To learn more how an EAP can
be a welcome and cost-effective solution to your human resources
problems, follow the link to EAP
Quotes.

florida traffic school
Florida was a great place to grow up. But a crazy place to learn how
to drive. Traffic is absolutely a nightmare in Miami. All of the
crazy New York drivers move down there and honk at you the second a
light turns green. They are ALWAYS in a hurry, how can you possibly
live your life like that? Type A personality all the way. Then you
combine that with the retirees and snowbirds, who are absolutely
never in a hurry and do not particularly care if the New Yorker is
blasting away on his horn, they will take their time come to nearly
a complete stop before making a right. Of course, in the car with my
dad, when I just had my Florida
Learners Permit, I couldn’t show my impatience. I made that
mistake once, griping about a little old lady, and he let me have
it. ‘They are old, they are nervous, and by all means, son, do not
rush them. They are not good at driving any more, you are just going
to make it worse.’ It’s actually a great perspective; my dad can be
really smart.

project management software
Ugh I am so tired of using Microsoft excel, I have run my entire
business using it for so long, you can only use so many macro’s
eventually you just run up against the wall. Man if I could only find
some project management
software to make my life easier. Software can be so
intimidating, you have to spend countless hours learning and reading, it
is like you have to take 3 steps backwards to take one step forward. Why
is that, here you are in need of solutions and what do people and
companies have to do? Take 3 steps backwards, it is so counter
intuitive. Why can’t people just create project management software that
is truly easy to learn? I was looking at this project manager software
and it is so complex, I mean it will take me 40 plus hours to learn the
basics, and will probably take me 2-3 months to be able to actually
become more faster at what I am currently doing using multiple
spreadsheets. It is such a catch 22, I just feel overwhelmed. This is
not new I realize that numerous companies go through this same issue,
you have to slow down before you can continue to grow, well I just don’t
want to do it, I want to grow my business now without stopping or
slowing down to learn en entirely new software package. Can I not just
have something easy to use that will offer project
tracking? I mean really if I can just find some really easy to
use project tracking or project management software to make running my
business easy without spending countless hours trying to learn it, why
can’t someone just make an attachment to Microsoft
excel that is easy to use and will offer the project tracking
that everyone needs? I have seen a web based project management software
similar to excel but it is just hard to learn, this is so frustrating to
small business owners trying to grow their business but without the time
to learn an entirely new piece of software, so what happens they end up
just staying with excel and fumbling through it rather then upgrading
their software so long that they can become more effiecnt.

Sacramento apartments
Ok moving to Sacramento and I need to find a cheap apartment, going to
be a chore but I am up for the task. I found a cool website that
specializes in Sacramento
Apartments, they have so easy search capabilities and can
hopefully help me narrow m search, and I am looking for a 3 bedroom,
with 2 baths and hopefully a balcony. I need a patio or balcony
because I like to barbeque and require some outside space in order to
cook outside like I so often do. The problem is I want one of those Downtown
Sacramento Apartments, where outside space is tight and trying to
find the exact location I want with the balcony or patio is going to
be hard. I may end up settling for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartments as I
need to have my outside space. I have always been sort of
claustrophobic and need to have a little room to run and get fresh air
this is one of the most important features of a new apartment for me.
I hope the weather in Sacramento will allow e to be outside often as I
am really an outside person and would hate to be cooped up to often in
Apartment in Sacramento.Sacramento
apartments are not very abundant, kind of few and far between, I
see lots of single family homes and town homes but very few
apartments, and I hope I can find a good realtor to assist me in my
latest move to Sacramento. I guess I
am worried over nothing a big city like Sacramento will have plenty of
apartments that will suit my needs and I will find a nice 3 bedroom 2
bat unit that has the out door space I require. I guess I should stop
blogging about my concerns and just solve them!
Ok well I found the apartment, it is lovely in downtown Sacramento,
and it is this cute little unit, with a patio and a sliding glass
door. I am so excited I am going to go look at it tomorrow, I hope it
is still available and I will sign the lease right away. Wish me luck!

houston real estate
My job appears to be taking me to Houston
Texas, I am excited about the warm weather and warm people
there, I am somewhat concerned about the Houston
Real Estate market, and it seems to be somewhat shaky
currently. Based upon the information I have read the Houston
Texas Real Estate market is in a down swing, although things
appear to be looking up. My wife found a bunch of Houston
Realtors in the Central
Houston Real Estate area and we will be going to look at homes
next week. I really do not want to go all the way to Houston Texas to
only rent a home, the Houston
Homes for rent section of the Houston Daily news had very few
homes and I am not really a fan of renting, but with the Houston
Realestate market being so unstable I am not sure if we should just get
one of those Houston Condo’s or what? I am excited about my new job
opportunities and just need to get this real estate issue resolved. It
is really weighing in on me, and I do not want it to negatively impact
my job performance once I arrive in Houston. I have been searching on
Google for reliable real estate agents and found a company with great
reviews Houston
Memorial Real Estate, they seem like people that you can trust
and they understand what it is like to move across the country and not
know exactly what real estate I am looking for and that I am new to the
Houston Real Estate Market and need guidance on whether I should get a
Houston Condo, or rent a home in Houston or do as I believe I need and
get one of those beautiful homes by Houston
Medical Center Real Estate, they are by far the nicest homes
in the Houston Texas area and I think with the money I made selling my home
in California I can afford one of those really nice homes.

Prevage MD
For the longest time I have really been showing my age, until recently
I have tried all sorts of creams and gels to help reduce the lines
around my eye’s and forehead which are really just ugly and show my
age. I have finally found the end all be all, it is called prevage
md this stuff really works, after reading online about the
benefits of new super antioxidant ingredient known as idebenone
(pronounced eedy-be-known) (that neutralizes destructive free radicals
that form in the skin in response to the sun's UV rays), which really
help reduce the signs of aging. I have really seen my wrinkles and
fine lines disappear.
Prevage md is the first product of it’s kind which has really done for
me what I have been looking for remove the signs of aging from my face
that have been getting worse in recent times, I have tried all the
skin care products from everyone, Revlon,
Youth spa, Mary Kay and no results, I mean I may as well of just been
putting moisturizer on my face. Now I have the Prevage md I will never
buy any of those other so called anti aging creams again. I have my
product, I would highly recommend this product to anyone trying to
look younger, and the creams really work. It must be something,
because this product is ONLY being distributed from select authorized
medical offices. You cannot just buy this at any drug store, it is
strong and really works so unless you can find one of the few
authorized sellers of this product your out of luck.
Most recently I found a great compliment to the Prevage MD it is
called Clarisonic this is a skin care system which helps maintain the
results of the Prevage md, I use the Prevage md 2-3 times and week and
I prefer to use the Clarisonic
everyday, Clarisonic is more of a daily skin care program designed to
keep your skin happy. The combination of these two products has shaved
10 years off my face and I can see my results it will keep it off. We
are not talking about short term solutions; we are talking about long
term age defying results. I recommend these products to anyone serious
about improving the look and feel of their skin and whom are serious
about turning back the clock and making their skim come alive again.

eyelash extensions
Guest blogging by my 17 year old cousin. sheesh. Oh I have got a hot
date tonight and I am concerned about my eyelash
extensions, they are not looking very tidy. I have always gone
round and round on these false eyelashes, and whether I really need
them my eye lashes are already quite nice and generally I do not wear
lash extensions, but for special occasions I try to look my best and
when they are top quality eyelash extensions and put on with the
proper eyelash adhesive, they really do make me look more attractive.
I tell you I am so looking forward to this date with Steve, he is a
real estate agent in the Houston Texas area and has had his eye on me
for sometime, he finally got the nerve up to ask me out on a date and
I am really upset with the way my eye lashes have looked? I asked some
of my friends and they explained that it just may be the eyelash
adhesive glue that I am using, so I guess I need to go find a better
brand so my eyelash
extensions really look hot.
OK so I am back from the store and I got the super high end eyelash
extensions and eyelash adhesive glue,
man what a difference my lash extensions now look natural thank you
Joy for telling me it was the eyelash adhesive glue, I would have kept
trying new eyelash extensions, without ever knowing it was actually
the eyelash adhesive.
Well now I am confident to go out on my date with Steve and have a
great time. My lashes look hot they are neat and clean and make my
eyes sharp. I am certain Steve will appreciate these lash extensions I
have on and how real they look, as it is my neighbor saw them and
could not say enough about how real they looked, I am so excited, I
need to tell all my friends how important the eyelash
adhesive really is, do not skimp on this part because it will
really make those lash extensions look fabulous.

Down comforters
This year for christmas I got a new
bedroom set for my girlfriend. This seems like it may be a bit
goofy to some people, but for ther it is like her life. When I met her,
one of the first this I knew about her was that she loved down
comforters. I think I learned her name next. She is just the
type of person who loves to be comfortable in every possible situation.
She loves her clothes to be comfortable, she loves her home to be
comfortable, and she especially loves a comfortable bed. So this year I
decided to get her exactly what she wanted. I went to her favorite store
in the mall and ask the sales rep to show me the beding set that they
had. He showed me a few different things and I just needed him to
decide. I told him that I just need to get the most comfortable set that
had down comforters in it. I didn't care what the price was, I just
wanted to make sure I got the most comfortable set. He sold me a three
bag set which he had to help me carry to my car. On christmas eve, she
went to work for the day. I hadn't told her that I had taken the day
off. When she left I took off her old covers and sheets, and replaced
them with the ones I had bought the day before. I couldn't help my self
when it was all done. I layed under the down comforters and let my head
just sink in to the pillow. The next thing I realized, she was standing
in the doorway asking me what I was doing. I had slept the whole day
away in her new set of sheets. I got out a dreamy "Merry Christmas"
and tried to explain the whole thing. She didn't mind the detail, she
was just obviously excited about the present I had gotten her. She said
it was her favorite gift out of all the other things she got from her
family. I also felt that I have never done quite as good a job of
picking a gift as this one.

premium tea
One of my favorite soothing rituals is my daily tea.
Wrapping my fingers around the warm cup, breathing into the cup and
feeling the warmth spread over my face. The scent of the leaves, whether
a spicy chai or a traditional black
tea or a chamomile, it is comforting and warm and I love it.

Cheap flights
International travel is positively one of my favorite things to do. OK
so I've only been to Europe once and Mexico once. Europe with family,
and Mexico for Spring Break. But I did leave the party scene in Cancun
long enough to really explore some offbeat sights in Mexico, and just
being in another culture really does change you a little bit. But with flights
to Europe as expensive as they are, I think that is really not bad
for a 19 year old. Some people wait their whole life to take one big
trip to Europe. At least Americans. It's a shame that Americans do not
travel the way Europeans do.
So I seriously intend to go as often as I can for the rest of my life,
the experience is just so enriching and enlightening. The thing is to
get hooked into student
flights, which are cheaper. You have to have a valid student ID, but
a student flight to paris can cost less, not much less, but still..... Airfares
to Europe are sometimes cheap and sometimes expensive, so I shop
around. With student
airfare discounts, I see some bargains now and then, but of course I
have finals right when the bargains are around. These days it can be
tricky to plan international travel. Then during Spring Break, cheap
flights are nowhere to be found. I find deals to fly back home, but
that is all East Coast. Especially for international
flights, the deals seem to come in spurts, and any day now I'm going
to catch one.
So should I go to Europe? Rome. Paris. London. The biggies. Done them
all. Yes this was a big trip to Europe.
Not a student flight at that time, just a big group trip. I don't
recommend one of those big tours really, especially if you are young.
But my family wanted to do it. I found the schedule too... well...
scheduled. I wanted to skip some parts and stay at other places longer.
But the tight itinerary does allow you to get all the big sights in a
short time. International airfares for 4 of us cost $4000, can you even
believe that? But since I wasn't paying, it didn't really sink in how
expensive it can be.
I think Turkey. I have a friend with an apartment in Turkey,
and that is a hotspot travel destination for Europeans, and still cheap.
Anyone been to Turkey?

Prepaid credit card
Money is great. It’s actually my favorite. My favorite what? I don’t
know, just my FAVORITE. What’s great about money today is that it comes
in so many forms. You can give someone cash, a gift card, a prepaid
credit card, a virtual credit card, a check, etc. It’s pretty amazing,
if you think about it. Having the ability to send money from one place
to another almost instantly with a virtual
credit card is amazing. The fact that you can hold so much money in
a piece of plastic that is easily transferable and “giftable” is great,
too. Gift cards are always nice, especially if it’s to your favorite
store. A prepaid credit card, especially a prepaid Visa card, is a
little bit nicer though, lol. It is basically the same idea as a gift
card. You put a set amount on the prepaid credit card and give it to
whoever you want to. If it’s a prepaid
Visa card, then you can use it anywhere Visa is accepted, just like
any other Visa credit card (only this has a set limit/amount of course).
I mean, I got a few gift
card from stores that I shop at constantly (American Eagle,
Microcenter, etc.), but getting a prepaid Visa card gives me a bit more
flexibility in what I want to spend and where. Another difference here
is that you usually can not use a gift
card online, but if you shop on eBay or other online sites
regularly, you can always use a prepaid
Visa card or whatever prepaid
credit card is accepted by that site. I like to buy clothes online
on Karmaloop.com, simply because I can’t find those clothes anywhere
else. They accept a bunch of prepaid credit cards, but I almost always
use a prepaid Visa card there.
Another thing about prepaid credit cards is that a name is pretty much
never attached to them, so they’re also like an anonymous
credit card which is great in that no one can steal your identity
with them. Add in the fact that each card can only hold a set amount of
money and you’re safe from any sort of identity theft. If you have a
credit card and are buying things online and want this kind of safety,
you can buy a virtual
credit card from a site like www.www-card.com.
You basically buy a virtual credit card (like a prepaid credit card)
that you can use yourself or “send” to someone. It has a limit on
spending, so if it is “stolen”, then your anonymous credit card can’t
exceed that amount, which is much safer than if someone had gotten your
“real” card. Anyways, read up on whatever you like, but think about it!

Modeling auditions
There are always talent agencies around any city of size, if there is
any level of performing arts industry in that city. As an actor who's
trying to get started in the business of performance, these talent
agencies often seem like a good place to start. After all, they will get
your name out to casting
directors, won't they? They will send you on big film
auditions and theatre auditions
with professional local companies, right? They'll distribute your
headshot and your resume, make phone calls for you, put in a good word
for you, find you gigs, and just generally be looking to get you work -
won't they?
The thing is, I imagine a lot of actors who go to register with these
talent agencies imagine something a lot different than what they're
getting. They are having visions of Joey's talent agent in Friends,
Esther or Estelle or whatever her name is, sitting behind a desk,
puffing away at a cigarette, and giving Joey a call to send him on casting
auditions or get him gigs.
But that's a talent agent. That's being one of a relatively small number
of clients that the agent knows well, relatively speaking, and that the
agent expects to get a pretty big kickback from - because the agent
believes that actor has potential to get cast, and is willing to put the
time in to find him or her, say, movie
auditions for A-list movies. It's worth the trouble to them because
the payoff could be so big.
These talent agencies work with
small-time actors and they aren't interested in knowing you personally.
It's because they have so many actors registered with them that they
have to assume everyone's a beginner, a relatively no-talent schmoe. And
that may not be true, but how are they going to sit there and sort out
the real thing from all the chaff: the stage moms who want to register
their toddlers for baby
modeling, the starry-eyed squealing sixteen year old girls who want
to be sent on auditions for
teens for TV shows and end up on Buffy or something...there's just
no way they're going to spend that time. So you may get gigs from these
talent agencies, yes, but will they be particularly high-profile?
Appropriate for you? Most of them will be commercials, extras in movies
filmed locally, and small-time modeling. Good supplementary income for
an actor, but you're not going to break into the biz that way.

Insurance Quotes
Looking over previous entries, I realized I’ve written a lot about insurance
lately. It’s still something that seems strange to me. You’d think, at
almost 22, I would feel more adult – more initiated into that world. But
I don’t. I feel there are still some occult secrets, like insurance
quotes, tax forms, credit cards, car ownership, and so on, that I
haven’t been let in on yet. I just got my all-important sideways
driver’s license the other day. Is that my pass?
One of my dearest friends moved to New York City five or six months ago.
That seems frightening, like throwing yourself into the adult baptismal
pool where you must learn the secrets immediately, be baptized in
adulthood, and emerge shining, a golden Adult. She’s just a year older
than I am. Maybe she’ll pass the handbook down to me when she’s done
memorizing it.
I’m not afraid of very many things, I think. I’m not afraid to be a
starving artist, for instance. I’m not afraid to travel abroad, like my
roommate is. And though I said my friend’s move to NYC sounds scary, I
don’t mean in the sense that I wouldn’t do it myself. There are just
these things to learn, and you don’t quite know how to learn them, and
what if you overlook something? What if you get car insurance and home
insurance but forget about some other important kind of insurance, like
the health insurance? What if there’s
something you just don’t know about at all? My friend says both he and
his parents didn’t know that you could take out loans to go to school,
and that’s why he ended up at the University
of Pittsburgh – he thought he just flat-out couldn’t afford anything
more expensive.
That is scary to think about: that there might be a time when you, as a
golden Adult, don’t know something that Adults are Supposed To Know.
Like about loans for college. Or what if you didn’t pay your taxes
right, or on time, or whatever, not out of negligence, but just because
you didn’t know?
No wonder my NYC friend is taking such a long time with that handbook.

South Tyrol
Oh wow! I was looking online for stuff to do next summer and I came
across this awesome website: http://www.hotel-interski.com/english/hotel
. It is basically the website for a small chain of hotels: Hotel
val Gardena, Hotel
Dolimites, and Hotel
South Tyrol, all of which look absolutely BEAUTIFUL. These look like
super high-class places, and the views that each have are spectacular.
Actually, I am looking over it now and all of these amazing things are
part of ONE hotel, not three. Amazing. It seems that the location of the
hotel is in the valley Val Gardena, which is either a part of South
Tyrol or South Tyrol is part of Val
Gardena. Anyways, the pictures of Val Gardena are spectacular. It
really looks super green and the people there look very happy. The hills
and valleys are a great lush green and the flowers are spread all over.
From the hotel Val Gardena is just outside, and it offers a lot to see
and experience. From the hotel South Tyrol is all around, so I am sure
that you could find something to do - they have hotel excursions and
guides that will take you to see things you would otherwise never knew
existed. This hotel looks really great. The website is very professional
and functional, and the fact that they have it in English is very
reassuring. From the hotel
Dolomites are in view. The Dolomites
really look beautiful from the pictures they have up on the site, and
they say they are great for hiking, which I believed before they even
said it, haha. The website also says that in the winter, the Dolomites
in South Tyrol hold a huge ski carousel, and that it holds around 1200
kilometers of ski slope. Holy crap!

Real Estate
"Invest
real estate." That has been on my mind for so long right now.
With graduation coming up, I've been looking at all sorts of ways to
make money in the "real world". I've talked to some friends and we've
thought about doing some sort of real estate investing. I think that
realestate investing is a pretty straightforward idea, and would be
pretty easy for me since my family has a home
improvement business. It just seems so simple! A real
estate investment is a sound one to me. People will ALWAYS
need a place to live, and the better looking a home is, the more likely
it is to sell. Since it is a competitive market, realestate investing is
not really for lazy people I guess, but if you have motivation and
drive, I can not see where you could lose. Buying low, fixing a place up
a bit, and then selling for a profit can't go wrong! Since the market
over here has a lot of houses up for sale, it'd be really easy to find a
good real estate
investment. A small group of my friends at college come from
out of state, but they've told me that the Florida
real estate around where they live is really nice too. Wow.
Florida. It is pretty crazy to know that the same rules of business
apply basically wherever man lives. If the market here were to slow
down, I could probably start realestate
investing in another state or whatever and not really have to
change much about how I go about doing it. Sure, there may be a few
differences in how things are done, but the main idea is the same. I
have been looking online and found http://www.realestateusa.com/main.php
. This website is pretty great - it has a lot of information about real
estate investing. It also has a listing of available
properties, realestate investing information,
office locations, and even sections dealing with financing and
insurance! It really makes me feel like there is a big big opportunity
in realestate investing and that there is a great network of people to
work/collaborate with. Being able to invest real estate would be a great
opportunity to make a good lump of money. Anyways, just check out
http://www.realnetusa.com/main.php and think about it!

Endowments
Do you need Endowment
Selling, Endowment
Policies, endowment sales, endowment
surrender & TEPS
Now that I'm looking at graduation, I see that I'm going to
really be 100% financially independent. It's a bit crazy. Not only that,
but soon I'll be dropped from my parent's auto and health insurances,
which worries me juuuust a tad. Anyways, I was looking at insurance info
and started looking at life insurance stuff, which I apparently know
less about than I thought. I saw something called an endowment
policy– they’re basically policies that last for a fixed
amount of time. Most are like 10 to 20 years, but the thing is you pay
your premium and get a payout amount (your endowment) either when you
finish the policy or if you die. It’s pretty crazy to think about, but
it sounds like a pretty cool thing. This way you don’t necessarily have
to expire in order to get a payout, lol. I wonder how many people have endowments
and endowment policies. Anyways, I started reading more about
it and apparently if you need to cash out your endowment policy early,
you can. It’s called endowment surrender/endowment sale, where you
pretty much sell your endowment back to the company at a lowered price
based on time left on the policy and the market. Apparently selling
endowment policies is pretty common, though I wondered how you could go
and sell endowments.
I found a website http://www.endowmentexpress.co.uk that can show you
how to sell endowments/sell endowment policy. This site is actually
pretty cool, because it shows that when you sell endowment policy, you
can sell to people and not just the company. Selling
endowment policies this way will usually net you more money
than and endowment surrender/endowment sales to the company because
people will still get a good deal by taking over where you left off on
the time scale. These second-hand endowment policies are called TEPS
(traded endowment
policies). This all seems really legit. Endowment
sales/selling endowment policies/TEPS seems like a legitimate business
venture, even. Maybe something I should consider…? Anyways, check out
the site I was looking at if you want to see some more info about
endowment policies and all that, or even if you’re going to sell
endowments. http://www.endowmentexpress.co.uk Let me know how it works
out for you!

Dubai Apartments
I really need to get out of here, haha. I’m 22 and have not really been
able to get out of Virginia to travel. Sure, I went to Korea for a few
months, but that’s pretty much it. There are so many places in the world
that I have yet to experience and see – Brazil, Japan, Spain, France,
India, etc. One place that I have heard a lot about lately but have
never really thought about is actually Dubai. Not really from friends
but more from around the internet and all. All I really knew about it
before was that it was located somewhere in the United
Arab Emirates. I hear that the Dubai
hotels and Dubai
hotel apartments are spectacular. I have seen pictures of Dubai
beach hotels and my jaw just dropped. Not only does it look
pristine, the people there are all freaking beautiful, haha. Well
anyways I started looking more into it lately and have been fiddling
around Google. I found this site: http://dubaifurnishedapartments.com/
. It is a pretty neat site. It is basically a listing of available Dubai
hotels, most of which are five-star hotels. Amazing. These hotels
look really incredible, and they are all pretty much near everything you
would ever want to be around, haha. There are also links to places where
one might want to stay a little longer with spending a little less under
the “self-catering apartment” section; Dubai
apartments, Dubai
vacation rentals, etc. There is a section for renters to put up
their own properties too. I was looking through some of the Dubai
villa rentals and wow. These are seriously nice. I never knew that
this place of the world was so so so nice. Actually, one thing that
struck me about this website is just how high quality it is and how each
and every property has such nice photos of it up. I have a feeling the
next vacation I take might have to be in Dubai, haha. Anyways, if you
are interested, or at least want to see some amazing pictures of a place
you have never been, check it out. http://www.dubaifurnishedapartments.com

Design Templates
Use Flash Intros to improve your corporate
identity using the best web
design templates. So I was looking around Myspace today and
came to grips with the fact that my site was so painfully vanilla. I
thought it would be cool to keep things simple, but it seems like
everyone and their moms have better sites than I do. I took some IT101
and tried to code a few cool things myself, but it seems like all of the
really good stuff is more advanced. I have thought about using some sort
of web templates or
web design templates to
fill the gaps of knowledge I have, but I couldn’t really find a good
site with good web templates until recently.
http://www.bestweb-templates.com/. I know it sounds a little generic,
but I’ve found the best web templates there. They have so many different
ones, it is insane. I never thought to buy web templates, but these are
actually pretty good. They are the best web templates I have seen on the
web so far. They even do flash
intros and everything – these are really like… professional
templates, not amateur things that you or I could put together (unless
you’re… a professional). I am actually thinking that I should buy a few,
since they’re the best design templates I’ve seen at their price, and
the fact that they’re FULL SITE templates, not just page by page. It is
actually a pretty good deal considering the time and frustration it’d
cause me to try and do myself, haha. I could get one of the professional
templates with a flash intro to be all “this is our corporate identity”
using PHP-Nuke themes to automatically update news and data, etc. on the
site. Very nifty. I am telling you, some of the best design
templates I have seen online. Not only that, they have
personal and music web templates, too, which look great. I guess I will
probably spend part of my next paycheck on a few full site templates – a
professional template, a music web
template, and a personal one, too. Haha, maybe I will get a
flash intro for my myspace, too. Whooshhhhhaaaaa, welcome to Jae’s
muh-muh-muh-myssspaaaceeeeeeeee. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooot. Awesome! Best
web templates ever! Cheap, too! http://www.bestweb-templates.com!!!!!!!!!

Cheap Laptops
Man, my laptop broke, and I called a buddy of mine who know
everything about computers, I had not spoken to him in a while. I
went over to his apartment and he helped me fix my cheap laptop. We
got into talking about his experiences graduating from school and
entering the real world.
Wow, I had a great meeting with an old friend of mine; he graduated
from Baylor University and was first in his class. He is now a VP at
a fortune 500 company and doing really well for himself. He spent
countless hours working in his education so he could start at the
top. He now has his MBA and it making some serious coin.
He had some great stories to tell about business today and how the
business landscape is changing rapidly. People are now entering the
workforce today with staggering educations; they have everything
from elaborate executive education degrees to multiple major MBA s.
He wanted to make me aware of the stiff competition in the business
world today. His advice was to stay in school and make sure you’re
prepared to compete with these highly recruited graduates. He
recommended getting leadership training, management training and
eCommerce training in addition to the education I am getting at
school now.
He was also clear that corporate management is quite finicky now,
and with the new cheap laptops
style of doing business, means that one day your management team
around you is all on the same page as you and the next day half of
the management team is gone and your now surrounded by a team of
people who do not agree with your thoughts and idea’s and are now
against you.
It is fascinating how business has become as much like politics as
anything else. The world is changing and the bureaucracy has spread
to business throughout the world. .

Hong Kong Inventory
Selling Electronic
Components is not hard but finding a reliable website where
you can buyActive
Component, Passive
Component, and IC
and Semiconductors at the best website for sourcing products
http://www.hkinventory.com . So I was looking at video game stuff and
searched for "HK inventory"
to check out the latest designs from the company which supplies my
beloved Rainbow Six team. Lo and behold I click a link and stumble upon
http://www.hkinventory.com/public/Home.asp . It would seem like I had
reached success, but I actually stumbled upon a really cool other kind
of success, lol. Its a really cool site that does electronic
component sourcing. Its basically a parts
inventory online that leads you to a supplier
directory. There are a load of suppliers, and I was looking
for parts for this bot I am building and found both the active and passive
component I was looking for. I found a China
supplier that got IC
and semiconductors, etc. direct from a China
manufacturer and pretty much just put in my order. It is
amazing. It can only be described as like an electronic
component marketplace stock trade lead whatever type deal. It�
is very sweet. You can buy from so many different suppliers
online its insane. If you are a seller/distributor, you can
put up YOUR parts inventory to sell lots of those active
component/passive component/IC and semiconductor doohickeys that we all
need but can not make, haha. Check it out if you need any of that stuff!

Weight Loss
As many of you guys probably know, I am working on a weight
loss program for myself. Right now I am shooting for the weight loss
goal of about 40 lbs total, from 240 to about 200. Right now, after 3
months, I am down to 225, which I think is great, especially since it is
not just a flash in the pan weight loss thing, but I am actually keeping
it down.
I use one video program thing and play a lot of soccer to do so. I am
probably going to have to start running more to get better results, but
a key source of information I have is the internet. I use a few sites,
but the one I use most is a weight loss portal It is full of weight loss
information and ideas, as well as lots of things about general health.
Even though the site url sounds kind of really gung ho macho, it is a
very intelligent site with lots of general health information that
follows the newest research. Not only that, it gives a lot of
information on things that are not discussed on other sites, which gives
it a bit more completeness on health and weight loss than other sites
may. One great thing about their articles is that they almost always
CITE SOURCES! It is actually pretty amazing that a modern day site does
so, lots of other sites do not. That gives this weight loss and health
site a bit more credibility than others do.

Barack Obama
It seems today that all of the news on TV is either about Hillary
or Barack Obama,
and about who is going to nail the primary. With Obama as the first
black and Muslim presidential candidate that has seen such success, it
probably won't be too crazy to predict the headlines. The more liberal
states? "Obama
New York, Obama
California, Barack
Obama Ohio. I wonder how the local media in each state
portrays him. I've seen plenty of coverage here about Obama
in the news, but I wonder how the media portrays him as an individual in
the various states. I'm sure there are differences between the northern
and southern states - Texas
Obama probably is not seen the same as Barack
Obama Illinois. I would think that a media slant exists in the
traditionally conservative states, and that race is made to be more of
an issue there, even behind the scenes or in an unspoken fashion. Who
knows, though, how Florida
Obama differs from his reputation in other states. Florida is
always one of the key states, a few years ago that big big deal was made
in florida about Bush stealing
the election from Gore. Gore really did win the popular vote!
And in which states do we see more Barack Obama shirts on the streets? I
have yet to see a Hilary shirt, but Barack
obama shirts are out there, especially on campus. Actually, it
seems like the division isn't so much North versus South anymore.
Although I really have noticed, along with the rest of the country, how
focused the campaigning is on specific states. I wish the candidates
did not have to game the system the way they do, I wish the candidates
would just talk to us about their qualifications and their values and
their plans for this country.Barack
Obama does seem to try to do this, when you hear him speak you
do hear his passion. But campaigns will remain state driven for now
unfortunately.

french long distance
Téléplanète pour appeler à l'étranger moins cher
On peut tous avoir besoin d'appeler à l'étranger un jour et lorsque le
cas se présente, on ne sait pas toujours comment faire: faut-il prendre
un abonnement chez un opérateur telecom? Où acheter une carte
telephonique et laquelle choisir? Doit-on prendre une offre ADSL et
équiper notre ordinateur? De nombreux moyens s'offrent à nous mais selon
le type de consommateur d'appels internationaux que l'on est, on ne va
bien sûr pas opter pour la même offre.
Appeler à l'étranger
pour le plaisir n'est pas la même chose que téléphoner à l'international
pour des raisons professionnelles.
Le choix de l'opérateur telecom ou du service dépend aussi de la
destination d'appel international. Si l'on téléphone en Algérie ou bien
au Canada ou encore au Mali, tout est évidemment différent.
La fréquence des appels importe aussi. Les grandes entreprises dont
l'activité nécessite d'appeler à l'étranger plusieurs fois par jour ont
tout intérêt à prendre un abonnement mensuel.
Tout le monde peut potentiellement avoir besoin d'appeler à l'étranger.
L'étudiant qui part faire un stage aux Etats-Unis, l'amoureuse transie
du bel italien rencontré en vacances, le quadra qui veut réserver son
hôtel en Malaisie, la grand-mère qui veut rester en contact avec ses
petits enfants, la PME qui veut se développer à l'international…
Ainsi, que l'on ait besoin de passer un appel international ponctuel ou
bien que l'on téléphone très régulièrement à l'international,
Téléplanète se présente comme la solution idéale. Que l'on appelle
n'importe quelle destination du monde, vers un fixe ou un mobile,
Téléplanète peut satisfaire chacun.
C'est un service de téléphonie low-cost qui permet d'appeler à
l'étranger moins cher, sans aucune démarche préalable et sans aucun
engagement.
L'utiliser est extrêmement simple, direct et n'engage à rien. On ne paie
que le montant de ses communications et ce, à tarifs réduits!
Pour appeler à l'étranger avec Téléplanète, il suffit de composer le
numéro d'accès qui commence par 08, depuis n'importe quel téléphone en
France. Il n'y a nul besoin d'avoir fait la moindre chose auparavant:
aucune demande, aucune souscription, aucun achat, aucun déplacement,
aucune installation particulière… vraiment rien.
Donc après avoir composé le numéro de Téléplanète, vous attendez la fin
du message vocal puis vous tapez le numéro de votre correspondant. (00 +
indicatif international + numéro + dièse). C'est aussi simple d'appeler

Online backgammon
The other day in my Middle Eastern studies class, the professor began
the class with an overhead image. The picture on the screen was of a Backgammon
game being played out by two computer players at a moderate pace. After
about three or fours minutes of the game going silently she began the
professor began to speak. She began this lesson and gave us the
findings of several archeological digs that showed the origins of
Backgammon to be from Persia, modern Iran, and Egypt. Most of the
people on the class had never even played backgammon
and so were a bit shocked to find that the game they though died out
with their grandparents' youth, is actually a game that has been
developing for over twenty-five hundred years. Though the lesson
switched gears and went back in to the stricter history, the first
segment was lodged in my brain. I went home from class and did a little
research on my own. I started out by looking in to the history and
found exactly what she had been talking about. Though the original game
of backgammon may not have included dice in Egypt or Iran,but the
version found in Sumar had the tetrahedral dice we have today. Now all
modern versions have developed with dice as one of their core
similarities. It is really cool to think that it began as a game played
on stone and moved to leather around fifteen hundred years ago. Then
within the last hundred years, the game went from primarily wood boards,
to the online backgammon services we see today. I have actually started
trying to play the game in some of these online forums because as i said
before, most people I know have never even seen a backgammon
board let alone ever played a game. The hardest part of this for
me has been learning the rules. Since there are four different versions
of backgammon that I have found online
backgammon and all of the rules differ in some way, it has been
difficult trying to find a good strategy for each one.

italy apartments
On a trip to Italy last summer, a friend and I met some really neat
people. The people in Italy are a truly genuine group and Italy
apartments and Italy
villas are the most beautiful reasonably priced accommodations I
have ever seen. It is like being on another planet from the one in which
we live. The crime is low and people are friendly and open and willing
to help others. My friend and I both speak Italian fluently, so we had
no trouble communicating with the people there. We spent a month
traveling to Rome, Venice, Tuscany and Sardinia. We each had a little
summer fling while we were traveling which made the trip all the more
interesting. There is nothing like being romanced by an Italian man,
that is all I have to say on the subject. They are very chivalrous and
deep. Well, quite a change from what I see hear on campus everyday.
Tuscany is a beautiful land, but a
little less active then I would like. The people were friendly and the
food was good, but a little lame. Lots of rolling hills, and old
cottages and castles and winding roads. It was a great place to walk
around and look, but it got old really quick.
Rome was a little more touristy and I really enjoyed getting to see the
Colosseum. It was truly amazing. My dad is an architect and I know that
he would love to have seen this incredible piece in person. I was in
awe. Rome is so metropolitan compared to Tuscany, the difference is like
night to day. I am more a cosmo girl, so this was more the place for me.
Lots of tourists and hustle and bustle, it was nice to see that Italy
offered both.
We were told we would have to check out the Sardinia
villas and Sardinia
apartments. So we added a few extras days to our trip and ventured
to Sardinia, an Italian island . Here we saw some of the most beautiful
beaches and water. The water was from a distance like someone colored
it. When you got up close, it was actually clear enough to see your
feet. It was beyond amazing as were the accommodations. We were both
glad we took the opportunity to see Sardinia while in Europe. It
actually became our favorite part.

Tuscany apartments
If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit Italy, be
certain that you see some of the highlights of this beautiful country.
Tuscany is known as the "cradle of the Renaissance" and has brought the
world some of its most famous people, especially in the fields of art
and literature. Michelangelo, Leonard da Vinci and Dante, to name just a
few. History abounds in Tuscany and your visit should include stops in
Florence and Siena. Chianti and Montepuciano wines are produced in
Tuscany and much of this wine is exported to the United States for our
enjoyment.
Of course, you would never be in Sicily
long enough to see very many of their famous historic sights, but you
should be certain to visit at least a few so you will learn some of the
rich history of the areas you are visiting. If you have the opportunity
to visit Palermo, The Piazza San Domenico fruit market would be an
interesting experience that will familiarize you with the local people
and customs. The Theatre Politeama Garibaldi in Palermo is also a
beautiful sight to visit.
Of course , before planning sightseeing adventures, you first must
locate a place where you will want to stay. Consider the possibility of
a Tuscany
apartments or Tuscany
villas as an alternative to hotel living. Sicily
villas and Sicily
apartments also can provide you with unusual and comfortable
accommodations so they should be investigated also. Villas will be more
expensive than apartments but are much larger and able to accommodate a
group, thereby giving you the opportunity to split the costs with family
and/or friends who are traveling with you.
Travel plans are very rigid once confirmed. World events however, can
result in airline schedule changes and delays. Sickness and
unanticipated family emergencies can often ruin your plans no matter how
thorough you've been in setting them. These are just a few of the
reasons why purchasing holiday insurance should be part of your planning
process. The more expensive the trip being planned, the more important
it is to have sufficient coverage and delays and cancellations will not
cause you to lose deposit money.

Costa Luz
My friend is trying to get me to vacation with her in Spain. At first I
thought, why Spain? Then she gave me some information and I fell in
love. The place she wants us to go is called Costa Luz. I couldn't
believe when I saw how beautiful this place is. An incredible shore (I
love the water) and some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.
I never thought that traveling to Spain could be so beautiful.
I always thought of international travel as a drag. I don't really like
the idea of not speaking the same language as the people who live in a
country. It makes me feel like and outsider. I mean they can say
things about you and you don't even know if they are making nasty
comments or cussing you out. I have always found the whole idea a
little intimidating. Now, I am really considering it. I do speak a
little Spanish, but I am not quite conversational at it.
Costa de la Luz means coast of light, and this is the truth. These
holiday homes in Cadiz
are just beautiful. If you know anything about Spain most of the
rentals available are between Cadiz and Vejer de Frontera on the coast.
The landscape is amazing. This retreat looks like just the place for an
international getaway.
The rates are reasonable and although Costa luz holiday rentals are
beautifully designed, this is not a real touristy area and is more
secluded making for the perfect beach vacation. Costa
Luz is located on the Atlantic Ocean. With beautiful waves crashing
on the most amazing shore line I have ever seen. The sand seems so
clean and soft, I can almost feel it.
I have been to a lot of beach resorts, but have never seen one that just
struck me as being a secluded getaway in the way that this one does. It
takes my breath away to just look at the pictures. The water is clean
and clear, and the sunsets are gorgeous.
Well, I think I am just going to throw caution to the wind and just go
for it. I love the beach and the sun and the sand. The waves crashing
and swishing and the wind blowing. This will be my first international
trip, but the thought is kind of exciting. Bon Voyage!

Exhibit design
I have been helping out at the local elementary school. I help out in
their art
classes which I love. I am an art person. Well, today they told me
that they are doing an art show at the local mall, and that they want me
to coordinate all their exhibition
design. I am flattered, but I just am not sure I can do the job. I
think I have some good ideas about how to make these exhibition
stands quickly and inexpensively.
First, we will take some 6 foot pieces of thick cardboard and fold them
like a z to make them stand easily. Next, we will put a banner with
each teachers name on one of these pieces of cardboard. Then we will
get some really bright colored paints. We will sponge decorate them
multicolored. We will make shapes and swirls and lots of color.
Finally, when they are dry, we will put each child's artwork up on it
and transport them to the local mall. This will keep everything really
organized and I think it will look really great.
I think this project will be fun and I know a lot of people are going to
enjoy getting in on the exhibition
stand design. The way I have it planned everyone can get in on the
creating part including the teachers and parent volunteers. What a fun
way to for everyone to get in on it!
I put this idea online mostly because you can find many elaborate
companies online that sell and rent fair
stands. I went online and looked at an exhibition
Germany and they had some of the most incredible trade
show stand designs I have ever seen. These things were beautiful.
When I went online, I found companies that were selling these items and
making a good buck doing exhibit
stands. I however, did not have the resources to make these kind of
exotic stands, as I had limited time and resources, and needed about 5
per grade level. I needed to get the job done quickly and easily. That
is how I came up with the idea I did.
I am taking art classes at school and now think that the field of exhibition
design really interests me. I really never thought of doing this
sort of work for a living, but I love to create and this would allow me
to use my creativity to make a good living at stand
construction. I don't want to be one of those starving artists or
anything. I want a steady well paying job, so that I won't have to
worry about where my next meal is coming from.

Tattooing
I really hate tattoos. I
mean they just seem really trashy. Some people feel the need to tattoo
their whole bodies. I don't know who thought of the idea of tattoos. I
mean it is really kinda dumb to color your whole body by injecting dye
into your skin. Also, most people have them done in mostly black.
Which I find looks more greenish. I guess one or 2 tattoos looks okay,
but I was told once by a friend that tattooing
is very addicting. Most people say that once you have one, you just
keep wanting to get more and more of them. I have even heard of people
choosing their next tattoo design before they even get the first one
done. Some people make lists on the ones they want to have and where.
It is kinda like a tat plan.
I have seen some of these people on television that have tattooed
themselves all over to look like lizards. But there's nothing wrong
with that. (LOL) Yuck! These people even go as far as to have their
tongues slit in half - you know like a lizard tongue. Anyway, I think
someone who is doing this should go through a serious psych evaluation
before being allowed to do this to themselves. There is definitely
something wrong with these people.
I have looked at online tattoo design, and some of them are so strange I
can hardly believe it. I know that some religions don't support doing
this. They feel that to do this is to destroy your body and that God
frowns upon it. I am really not sure about this thinking, however I am
sure that I don't like to look at it. I definitely don't want to see
these things on someones face or neck or legs or feet.
I guess I don't mind looking at an occasional tattoo on the arm, or the
small of the back, but definitely with color. I just find that the
people who seem to have tattoos, have a lot of them and they are all
over. Kinda like an art experiment gone terribly wrong.
Plus, I can imagine that having tattoos all over your body probably
would make it hard to be let's say a lawyer or a doctor. I am not sure
too many people would be comfortable around you if you look like this.
A teacher would be pretty covered in tattoos, especially in like a
Kindergarten Class. I mean can't you see going in to meet your kids
teacher and finding them completely covered in tattoos. I don't think
that would fly.
People please for all of our sakes, keep the tattoos down to minimum.
Thanks!

Holiday-cards
I have a sister in law who makes her own cards. Every time there is an
event or holiday, she sends a handmade card. Not computer generated
either. A cute one on the best paper. She uses stickers and stamps and
glues all little things to them. Then she usually writes on them with
those pretty paint markers or gel pens. They are some of the best cards
I have ever received. It is nice to know that someone took the time to
make this card just for you.
I am a card person. I enjoy sending cards to people for special
occasions, especially birthday
cards. I really think that this is especially important to do for
the older people in your life. Let's face it when you are little
everyone makes a big stink about your special day. As we get older
though, there is less and less fuss made about a persons birthday. I
think this is just wrong. I especially think that if someone doesn't
have anybody who will make a fuss over them on their birthday, then that
makes the card they get from you even more special.
When I can't be with my family for the holidays, I will usually send Thanksgiving
cards to them, saying something like Happy Thanksgiving from across
the miles. Just to let them know that even though we can't be together,
I am thinking about them and missing them for this holiday.
I send Christmas
cards and try to make sure that I at the very least send one to
everyone that I receive one from. Sometimes I include a personal note,
but I always hand sign my cards. I think it is really important to give
that personal touch.
I like to get business
birthday cards from people I do a lot a business with. It shows me
that they value me and have taken the time to send me a card to say so.
If I ran a business I would definitely send my clients or customersbusiness
Christmas cards too. I think this is an important way to
acknowledge these people and the way they are helping us to succeed.
No matter what or who a card is always a nice way to say I care.

VoIP systems
Things at work were overwhelmingly hectic over the last few months.
Almost nothing was getting done. It was a daily routine for at least two
or three employees to start arguing over busy signals and interference
on the phones. It was good entertainment, but it did not take too long
to get annoying. Work days just seemed so much longer because of the
phones. My wife would get mad at me because I would turn off my phone
once I left the office. Some nights, I would not even answer our home
phone. It was easier for me to just let the answering machine record a
message. I hated the phone. Thankfully, the situation at work is
resolved. Everyone was arguing amongst one another
