Multi-media and web design can be so crucial to a business. While there are surely companies in certain industries that can get by with having an average website with basic information and not too much creativity, most businesses these days have chosen to go with web designers that can make the company website shine. There are some websites that truly do the trick by showing pictures and posting information and then there are others with interactive sections, video sections, and flash capabilities. I think you can tell by my site, that I haven’t clue how to do any of this, but I am very fascinated by what the folks at 352 Media Group in proving to be the best in Atlanta web design.
As a Red Sox fan, I have to say that if the stories about Manny Ramirez throwing an at bat are true, I will have lost any respect there was left to have for the man. Manny being Manny stopped being funny when he had the altercation with the team’s traveling secretary, but then when he found out about the 6 figure fine by the team he takes three strikes without swinging from Mariano Rivera, to prove a point to the Red Sox management???? Let’s just say that I really hope this is false because I wouldn’t want him on our team if it turns out to be true.
So much of what happens on the road is beyond our control and yet after we have an accident, it seems like so much of what happens next is beyond our control as well. Let’s say someone side swipes you in you car and takes out your quarter panel and you get it fixed. You’re all set, right? You’ve fixed the car and it looks and drives brand new, but because of the accident, the car is said to have diminished value and thus you’re now faced with getting much less when or if you decide to sell it. What about the insurance company? Did they pay you that money? I ask because that diminished value is often payable to you, but most people don’t even know it, which is one way that insurance companies make money off a car accident. While it’s not their fault for making the money, there’s no reason they should get to keep it all. 
Back in the 1970’s, a man by the name of Walt Disney had a unique vision for a southern California valley that while destined for failure, was ahead of its’ time, like so many of his creations. And yet this was different in that Disney had eyes on a parcel of land called Mineral King Valley for a major southern California ski resort that would attract thousands of skiers from greater Los Angeles and south. While located on Forest Service land, Disney wanted to create a European style resort in that he planned a car-free village with use of the now famous monorails that had been installed in his two original parks as well as Seattle. Despite the environmental efforts, Disney’s and other developers’ bids were ultimately all denied and this steep-walled valley remains untouched.
A lot of times when people think of getting used items, they think of cars or perhaps major sporting items like boats or sis, but let’s face it, you don’t really need to have everything brand new all the time. I often like to buy used items because I can find out how they work and who has used them. I know that this can be particularly important when buy an item like a gun. Whether you’re buying a handgun for protection at home or want a sporting clay riffle, buying used can be of great advantage to you. At usedprice.com you can even just log on and find out how much an old gun of your might sell for. And while they have just about every used item you could ever want, check them out today for used gun pricing.
A year ago no one would have suspected that J.D. Drew would have been named the MVP of the MLB All-Star Game, but this guy really is having one hell of a year. When David Ortiz went down, Drew picked up the slack and then some. On Tuesday night he showed the rest of both leagues what he’s been doing to opponents by knocking in a two-run homer and adding another base hit in the American League’s 15-inning win. And of course the fact he won it in Yankee Stadium, after A-Rod took off, doesn’t hurt either.
There are times when we just need to have power. Perhaps you’re wife or girlfriend likes to go camping, but really isn’t able to go without her curling iron. Maybe you like the campfire, but would prefer watching a DVD as well. Okay, first of all, you shouldn’t be camping, but you could always look into a portable generator. Most people think of generators as just for emergencies, but in truth, there are makes and models for just about any use you could think of.
Computers have simply become an undeniable part of our lives these days and more and more people have set up networks with friends, family, and of course businesses, to become more efficient and better their computing and online experience. And yet setting up a network is more than forming a group of unique users, you need to have the right technology and tools to make it work – tools like KVM switches, extenders, and accessories.
I know form experience that there are people that find some sense of humor in the need for adult diapers and quite frankly I think that is sad, but realistically, hospitals and nursing homes do have a great need for these. And if you’re a fairly new parent you already know how expensive they are for your child. Can you imagine how much larger ones cost. Buying from a local medical supply store is an option and will save you money over the grocery store, but online is always your best bet.
It’s nearing that special time when we see scores and scores of stickers, posters, and banners endorsing candidates from town council to presidential candidate. While some of you are familiar with how to get such promotional products, they aren’t the most obvious things to look for in the world. And just think of the other great items that you could use to promote philanthropic events or you business.
Whether you go on one trip a year or one a month, there are any number of things that can go wrong. No, this isn’t some glass half-empty attitude, but let’s face it, some things simple as losing your luggage can have a lasting affect on you and your family. Whether you live in United States or abroad, whether you’re a business person or a student, you can never go wrong with the right amount of travel insurance.
Well it’s about time. I think Jeremiah originally came out on Showtime in 2004 and was cancelled after two seasons. Correction, it was cancelled well-before the second half of the second season ever aired. Starring Luke Wilson, Malcom Jamal Warner, and Sean Astin, Jeremiah was one of the most original and inspiring sci-fi shows I’ve ever seen. It got a cult following after the release of the first season on DVD and there was a strong hope that someone would pick it up, like the Sci-Fi Channel, but it never happened and the creator said he didn’t want to do it anymore. I don’t buy it. I think he would have made more episodes and I think the two aforementioned actors would have signed on. Now, four and a half years later, Jeremiah is on syndication on Sci-Fi. So again I asked, what took so long?
So you fancy yourself an engineer and you’ve decided that with all the stress of the economy and the cost for fuel efficiency, you are going to come up with a thermal design system for your home or for your office building that is as efficient I the winter as it is in the summer. Not exactly something you can just learn from grabbing a book from the library or doing a Google search, but Flomerics‘ advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software will increase efficiency in your development process, saving valuable time and money. From simulated heating dynamics to electronics cooling, Flomerics has your solution.
The big news in sports yesterday was about James Posey signing a 4-year deal with the New Orleans Hornets, but to be honest, I think it’s much ado about nothing. Sure, Posey was a big part of the Celtics’ bench this season, especially in the playoffs, but if the Celts hadn’t won the championship, people wouldn’t have lined up to get this journeyman guard. Yes, he’s a talent, but the Celts obviously aren’t too worried about finding a replacement if they didn’t want to go 4 years for him and I agree. I would have loved to have kept him, but 4 years for his caliber is not what they need and despite all the talk, New Orleans overpaid.
It’s only about a third through the sailing season and I find myself in need of some supplies. After an odd occurrence, we already ended up getting new oars for the dingy, but now I’m thinking that at bosun’s chair would be pretty handy to have on the boat, especially as there are some things I want to fix with the rigging and halyards. Of course I often find it’s pretty easy to drive down to the local marine store, but quite frankly, they can really pack a punch on the wallet with the captive audience. Of course it’s also good to know that there are other options for boat equipment right here online.
I almost feel as though Jules and I are in for a real beating from the weather at some point given the beautiful nights and weekends we’ve had out on the ocean this summer. We got out to Falmouth tonight and the breeze was light but serviceable and the sky was nothing short of amazing with fiery red, orange, and yellows mixed in with the horizon. And even as the wind died down and we needed to start the engine, there was no damper on the sail or the night.
Do you know how many people have their houses painted by college student each summer? It’s a staggering amount, around 50,000 in North America alone. CollegeWorks employs 2000 college student each summer for painting services and in 2006, they accounted for 12,000 of these projects alone. I think that one of the aspects that really sets this company apart from other college painting services is the commitment to customer service. In the painting business it seems somewhat of a rarity, but CollegeWorks doesn’t take that attitude. Who else offers a 2-year labor and materials guarantee? Exactly. Check them out for yourself and Learn more here. 
Yesterday was long, very long, even by my standards and when the day ended I couldn’t help but feel anxious. It was almost as if I felt like I didn’t accomplish anything while at work, but somehow I knew I did. It was frustrating and I was in no mood to be around people or really do anything. In short, it was very hard, but I knew I had to fight out of it. So off to the ocean I went. Yep, it was already 7:30, but I still went out to see if I could somehow find solace on the sea by myself. And after racing around Casco Bay at high speeds in the Avon, I felt a little better. I still don’t know the cause of this, but thinking about it is even a little disheartening.
Lots of people want to be entrepreneurs and/or business owners, but such a notion isn’t as simple as just having a desire. In a perfect world, this would be the case, but realistically, people need to have the means to get ideas to the fruition. So what if you had an outlet to share you business ideas and proposals where you knew others would not only listen, but may even like your ideas so much that you got a business off the ground? This idea alone has come to be a reality with Gogme.biz, a new business social networking site that isn’t some silly place to trade friend requests and props, but rather, to exchange ideas, earn points, and get involved in viable money making businesses. Don’t just sit there and imagine what it would be like to contribute, actually do something about it with Globally Owned Globally Managed Enterprise.
With a drop of $6 per barrel, today’s drop in oil prices was the largest percentage drop in one day in over 20 years. So what does this mean to you? Does it mean things will get better at the pump? I’m afraid it’s a big no to both of those questions and for good reason – there’s no one reason for the large drop today aside from speculators seeing a possible decline in demand from China when the Olympics are over. So yes, this was a one shot deal for the time being, but I have also had a theory that the market will react to a very complicated combination of speculation that includes a renewal of American’s being in favor of drilling along with that taking some of the pressure and power away from OPEC. If you’re thinking that drilling off the United States coast wouldn’t produce oil for a couple of years and thus couldn’t have an immediate impact, well, you’re right and you’re wrong. No, oil couldn’t be produced for a couple of years, but the prospect of the future oil could mean more production from OPEC countries who may fear less demand in the future and thus less profit, which could be beneficial if they attempt to get the profit now. Complicated? Somewhat. Fascinating? Extremely.
Regardless of where you do your shopping, you are always well-advised to do product research before you buy and while some people are skeptical of cruise ship art auctions, there are certainly many credible onboard auctions going on these days. Many of these are conducted by highly reputable art sellers from cultural centers like New York. For example, Park West Galleries has been selling fine art throughout the world for years, on board ships in the Caribbean they operate through their affiliate company Park West at Sea, who conducts the auctions at sea. Check out all that Park West has to offer, enjoy their musings and their wonderful collection, and then enjoy a piece of their fine art.
So there I was last night, hanging out and watching CSI: Miami shortly after midnight. As it was the beginning of Season 5, the episode was partly set in Rio, which made me think of a couple movies I’ve seen that are set in Mexico and Brazil. The reason I mention Mexico is because I saw The Ruins last week and thought it was pretty darned creative for a gory horror flick. Additionally, with Jena Malone as the lead, it was well-cast. How much can you do with four 20-somethings going into the Mexican forest to look for a pyramid? Find out for yourself ‘cause this one is pretty interesting. As for the Brazil-based flick, well that would be a movie I saw last year called Turistas. First, this has Melissa George so it is automatically a great flick. Period. Seriously though, I was skeptical of this movie as well. I mean Josh Dumel running around a beach and though the Brazilian rain forest? Yep, it worked. This movie has big shock factor, but it is actually more believable than The Ruins. Regardless, both are worth votes from me and I would watch either again.
As I was taking the test on Bills IQ, I knew that there were some answers that obviously would have raised my score, but at the same time I wanted to be as accurate as possible. The one that annoyed me was regarding the thought of my overall financial picture. Whereas I know that I plan well and have some pretty good plans, one of the choices was “It causes me stress,” which was what I chose for an answer and yes, it brought my score down. I think this test was great because it asked some unique questions about my finances and planning that made me think and I hope that others who take t do the same. Sure, I said that my finances cause me stress and it’s true, but it’s not because I’m not doing well with them, but rather, it’s because I worry about things like that. I think that it’s human nature and if I were to say that I’m totally relaxed and secure about my finances and financial future, it may be indicative of me being complacent, which in my opinion, can be dangerous. Like many others who will take this test, I’m one who has student loans, which constitute my only real amounts of dept, but not to the point where I need any Debt consolidation. Thankfully I have my finances in a position where I can afford to concentrate on my retirement savings and the purchase of my first home, but a lot of people will take this test and realize that they need Debt relief, but don’t know where to go to find it. It’s a tough time for most American’s right now and people seeking Debt help is at near record levels. It is for all the reasons above that I urge you to take this test and make sure that you know what’s going on with your money and your future.
While they may not have made it easy on themselves today, The Red Sox were able to hold off the pesky Orioles for a 2-1 win. Of course the bigger picture is that going into today’s game the Sox were a 1/2 game behind the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox did their part by securing the win while the Cleveland Indians gave us a little help by sending the Rays to their 7th straight loss. With all the teams off until later in the week for the All Star break, the Red Sox have retaken first place in the AL East. Meanwhile, the hapless Yankees lost another game to Toronto.
So we all know what we look like in the morning. You look in the mirror and see your bed head – your hair going every which way. There is a theory that if you and your partner both have hair like this – whether it be morning or any other time – it’s called Victory Hair. I have to admit that there are some people that have a real problem with Victory Hair because some of us are losing our hair, but just go with it, people. Now if I need to tell you why it’s called that then you should probably be reading a lot more than someone’s blog, but truth be told, the people at VO5 do know a thing or two about hair and hair products, which is why they came up with Extreme Style by VO5. Actually getting to the endgame of this process would differ for different people and does extremely so for married couples. In fact victory can be a lot harder after a couple years of marriage, but you can still attain this. You should start off with a nice dinner. Making it yourself is usually better than a restaurant cause it show commitment. After that, a romantic walk and a chick flick are pretty good options, but then again, what do I know? I’m just some engaged guy. If you’ve got game, go to Extreme Style by VO5’s
Ultimate Flirting Championship and see how you stack up.
As the commercials become more frequent, I can’t help but feel some anticipation for this movie event. For nine seasons, Chris Carter’s creation never ceased to deliver on fascinating and original story lines that went beyond spooky or science fiction - they often made me think. And while I agree that the show had run its’ course and at times got a little off its’ mission, so to speak, it is the perfect show to revisit from time to time. The original X-Files movie in 1998 was a hit, but it had the problem of being too tied into the series and thus people that weren’t familiar with the storylines were lost. Not so will be the case this time around as the new movie is a stand alone. And yes, it’s good to see Gillian Anderson back…
Sometimes when people get ready to move to a new city or region of the country, they already have everything in order. Some who go for a new job, have had assistance with a new home or apartment and yet sometimes it’s the other way around – people move to a new location because they want to live there, but need to find a new job or career. Regardless, moving isn’t easy and having to look for services in several different spots can be time consuming and frustrating. Relocation.com can help with these pains that go along with long distance moving. The site is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Take a look around to find everything from the aforementioned services to moving assistance to insurance.
As Jules and I got out to the yacht club this morning, a strong southeastly wind ripped through the bay. While the breeze normally doesn’t pick up till the early afternoon in Casco Bay, the breeze was stronger than usual and due to the direction, the sea was strong. With 3-4 foot white caps in the anchorage. The Windy III rolled on its’ mooring, pitching up and down with the sea and it was nothing short of beautiful. The strength of Mother Nature, which I’ve talked about so often recently was well at hand in all her glory. While it surely wasn’t a particularly dangerous sea for anyone with experience in such conditions, after yesterday’s near placid conditions on the water, it was a friendly reminder. It was beautiful.
For around two centuries, people have generally been annoyed with the lack of choices and high prices associated with ordering room service while staying in a hotel. Sure, there are times when you just don’t want to go out and yet your only option is a hugely over-priced burger and fries from the hotel kitchen. With TheRoomService.com, the whole concept of room service, and how we as consumers view it, is about to change. Soon you’ll be able to order whatever you want in hotels all over the world and not be price-gauged when doing so. In a seemingly untapped market, theroomservice.com will revolutionize the hotel experience forever. 
I already receive dozens of emails a day from our real estate agent with listing that fall within the categories and price range Julie and I are looking, but now we’ve agree that a condo might not be a bad idea for our first property. While this would normally add a ton more listings and therefore increase our scope, it is likely that any condos we would look at would be much closer to where we both are now. The real estate market - whether in its’ present down turn or not - is fascinating and I enjoy the dynamics. The search continues.
Zenni Optical has always prided itself on having a small advertising budget, which in turn has allowed them to pass the savings on to their customers in need of quality prescription glasses for around $8. That being said, I’ve talked about their great products before, but it seems that other have caught on to all the great eye glasses and frames available on ZenniOptical.com. See what others have to say about Zenni on Fox. 
While the Red Sox got a day off to rest after sweeping the Twins out of Boston, two of their division rivals had contested games on Thursday. With Boston going into today having a 4 game lead over New York, but trailing Tampa Bay by 2 games – Yes, The Rays are still around, Boston was hoping for a little help from their friends and help they got. After losing 10 straight games, Cleveland finally found its’ stride and beat Tampa Bay and New York sent Mike Mussina to the mound after missing an All-Star selection. Apparently the team didn’t want to help him out of that funk as the Yankees lost to Lowly Pittsburgh in a make-up game. So the Sox pick up a half game on both these teams without even taking the field. Next up for the Sox; the Orioles come into Fenway for a three-game set starting tonight.
Computers have become the cornerstones to how we do business today. Some might even say that we rely on them a little too much, but let’s face it; the days of hand-written balance ledgers and inter-office memos have passed. Of course, this way of operating doesn’t come without risk. That risk can be minimalized by optimizing all the services that come with Windows Vista. I wish I could sit here and just tell you about the horror stories I’ve heard about hard drive information being wiped out by a virus and/or spyware or how my productivity had slowed because of my PC or laptop constantly freezing, but realistically these are both things that I’ve experienced for myself with older operating systems. Now like anyone, I always tell myself and others to back up all the data on my computer and I know that this is something that most people automatically do everyday, but when mistakes are made or this step is forgotten, it’s pretty much the time when something bad happens. For example, I had been saving copies of one of the drafts of an unfinished novel for a couple years. I would normally work on it some and then save to a CD, but then on the last draft I was working on I got a little sloppy and hadn’t taken that last easy step. One day back in February a virus attacked the old laptop I was working on and everything on my computer was lost and unrecoverable. With my new laptop I take every precaution you can think of, but I also have the back of the Windows Vista Small Business Assurance Program, which means I can get 24-hour support for my computer and have someone help me recover data if by chance the same problem happened again. And while I’m still figuring out and bits and pieces of Windows Vista, I can at least have the peace of mind of knowing that there are people there to help and support me and my small business needs. 
Not that this will come as a big surprise to many out there, but there surely are some real bad businesspeople on eBay. I recently had an experience with a company that was selling timeshare weeks at various resorts for good deals, but when I question them on some specifics of the deals, they got very defensive and unaccommodating. While I’m not naming names at this point, I’m thinking of it. I haven’t left negative feedback either… yet. I may update this if the dude doesn’t smarten up, but we’ll see. Just a rant. Thanks for reading.

There had been an ongoing theme the past month or so about the Red Sox losing a lot of close games because of lack of hitting despite some quality starting pitching. It seems that the offense took that to task this afternoon as they belted out 18 runs on their way to a 3-game sweep over Minnesota and helping Josh Beckett to his 9th win of the season. A couple hours south, the Yankees pulled past the Tampa Bay Rays, which narrowed the Rays lead in the AL East to 2 games over Boston.
Are you someone who suffers from an illness or illnesses, but can’t afford the medication you need? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans are either uninsured or uninsurable. Some people simply don’t have the money to pay for medical insurance or prescription coverage while others work for employers, who don’t offer this important employee benefit. Either way, there is help out there for you and it’s as easy as getting online and enrolling in Patient Assistance Programs. Patient Assistant is a non-profit corporation that works with pharmaceutical companies to make prescription drugs available to millions of Americans through their programs. Log on, see how it works, sign up, and start getting the medications you need.
There are many people that really enjoy herbal essences and the relaxation they get from herbal bud. Herbal bud is just that, it contains no cannabis and therefore is not an illegal substance. Herbal bud is made from herbs from all over the world that each have unique flavors and essences that can be enjoyed like a cigarette or by other smoking means. International Oddities has been selling legal bud for over 30 years and provides a wide array of products and herbs to satisfy any smoker. I recall a few times back in high school where kids would raid their mothers spice cabinets in order to find an herb to smoke. Let’s just say they were searching for something that would get them high, but realistically, smoking legal bud is not about getting high, but instead about enjoying the natural flavors of herbs from around the world. One of the most unique products International Oddities offers if the A’Hai Bud, which is cultivated from volcanic soil on Hawaii. You can see the color in the bud’s unique orange hue. All the products from International Oddities have vibrant colors and looks that you rarely see. It’s also important to not that International Oddities does not sell any illegal substances and none of their products have marijuana or are sold with the intent to be smoked like marijuana, they sell high quality herbs only. And while these guys have been around for many years, there are other companies that are out there that sell inferior products that are basically imitations of what you get with International Oddities. 
There’s nothing scarier or more dangerous than an unrelenting sea. Any sailor that has any experience navigating a coastal area quite like Maine knows that looking out for ledges, reefs, shoals, and rocks is the easy part of being at sea. Modern navigation and charts make for an easier voyage for any sailor, but Mother Nature is the ruler out on the water and no matter how much you think you know the waters and no matter how many times you’ve traveled a route, it can all change in a heartbeat and you can never take anything for granted on the sea. Even going out for a leisurely sail on the bay can be dangerous if you ever take the sea for granted. Why am I writing this when most of my audience either doesn’t sail or even lives near water? I write this so I remind myself everyday that I can never be complacent and can never be too ready on the ocean.
So you need to get from lower Manhattan to Newark International Airport and you have a couple of choices. You could take the subway or ferry and worry about hauling your luggage and transferring from one line to another. Maybe you have your own car in the city and think that would be a good option – how about parking… Not such a good idea there either. If you listen to the folks at New York Magazine, Dial 7 Car & Limousine Service is “the best ride in town.” Whether you need to get to either of New York’s major airports or to Newark, Dial 7 is the absolute best way to get safely and on time to your airport of choice. What’s even better is that you can book online or call for reservations so you don’t have to worry about last minute bookings. Their site is user-friendly, offers many travel solutions and is the best for LGA car service.
I don’t like to admit it, but hey sometimes we all have to do things we don’t like to do. In my case, it was routing for the Yankees tonight as they played the Tampa Bay Rays. While Boston was able to come back from 5-2 to win 6-5, The Yanks blanked the Rays, which allowed the Sox to gain some ground on the league leaders. As long as the Sox win, I can handle routing for the Evil Empire for the next couple of days…
Up here in Maine, there aren’t a lot of people that participate in rodeos. Sure, most of our state is rural and we have as many, if not more farms than most states, but the people that work those farms are a different breed of cowboy and not the same guys that ride the bulls and horses like out west. That being said, just like everywhere, rodeo is growing in popularity. The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas is no exception. Now that folks can tune into a major station and watch the action each week as opposed to once in a while, professional rodeo is becoming more mainstream. To be fair, most of the people that I know who watch or are interested in rodeo, pretty much watch for the bull riding, which is a big draw for people out here, but the other events will catch on such as steer wrestling, barrel racing, and team roping. The events at the Wrangler National Rodeo Finals are easy to follow and full of as much anticipation and excitement as any other stop on the tour. So whether you’re planning on being in Vegas already or have now found a reason, make sure to get your WNFR Tickets today! 
So I admittedly watch a lot of TV and already mentioned some of the shows I like. Of course I also like to talk about movies from time to time and usually it is because one is particularly good or bad, but what about the very middle; I don’t mention those all that often and for good reason. That being said, there is a new release that I saw a few weeks back that got a lot of hype. Perhaps it was because it starred Hayden Christianson, (not that I can spell his name) Samuel L. Jackson, and the lovely Rachel Bilson. So the previews for Jumper really did look good, but how can I explain this without giving away the plot… Oh wait, there wasn’t a plot. I still have no idea what the point of that movie was.
I was talking to a friend the other day who said that there had had an accident last year in their car and that although it wasn’t their fault, they didn’t get the true value back from the others person’s insurance carrier. While they had the necessary body and paint work done to their car at an auto body shop, it is now considered to have diminished value and that they were concerned because they were thinking about trading it in. I had seen an advertisement for others in a similar situation where they had been in a car accident and lost value in their car and told him that he should get in touch with Advocate Auto Claims to get a FREE diminished value estimate to find out what he may be owed.
Among the plethora of movies I’ve seen recently, I decided to try to get back into CSI: Miami. For one reason or another, this setting always resonated better with me than either of the other two and given that I’m not a fan of Vegas, it kind of makes sense, but other than having watched and enjoyed Miami Vice, what makes this place so intriguing? Why do I like the show? It isn’t the women, the women are hot on most TV shows, far be it for normal people to be cast. And yet that’s just it; the main character is about as normal (aside from the fact he is a little odd) as they come. There’s nothing glamorous about David Caruso. I don’t know, I guess I just like the fact that it’s a much brighter show and it was great when Rory Cochran was on it. Anyway, who knows how long this will last…
So I wrote about The Leviathan Chronicles a few days ago after listening to the first chapter on my computer and now I’m hooked. While it was admittedly an advertisement, which was obvious, it did require that I listen to some of the content and it is really good stuff. All that said, I strongly encourage any and all science fiction readers, watchers, listeners, or whatever, to check this out. Yes, after the first chapter, you have to pay a small fee to listen to the other chapters, but it’s no different from any other podcast of paying for an audiobook. Have fun and enjoy.
Do you know why glasses frames end up costing you so much when you buy them at a regular retailer? While there are a number of reasons for the excess cost, much of it comes down to paying the middle man and advertising fees. When you tack those costs on and pass them along to the consumer, prices surge, but not at zennioptical.com where most frames are around $8.00 and they have the largest stock of anyone.
Okay, so I guess I’ll just go ahead and get myself in trouble sooner rather than later, but at least I’m going to be honest. Nevertheless, take my comments for what they are – opinions and nothing else. So anyway, I was discussing stereotypes with a co-worker and she asked me what I thought were sexy qualities in a woman. So I shared and she did the same. Now let’s get one thing straight, we had parameters that were easy to follow; what is the ideal body type of your partner? There are a ton of other factors that go into a relationship and thus the third person who was listening didn’t quite get it, but still, she said that we were both shallow because we had mentioned physical attributes and not personal ones. First, I could never be with someone who doesn’t have a personality that is commensurate with mine or someone who doesn’t share the same values that I do, but those weren’t part of the talking points, and thus this third person didn’t get it. I can honestly say that superficial or physical attributes are not the number one things I look at in a woman and I think that most that know me would agree. And therefore I don’t think that because I happen to think skinnier women are more physically attractive than fatter women, makes me sexist or chauvinistic. I think that the day we fail to be honest is with ourselves and each other is a sad time.
