Bed and Breakfast Quality

Friday, October 31st, 2008

If I have to stay in one more stuffy hotel with the same blinds, desks, decorations, etc., I think that I will try to throw the same old phone system out of the same old window. If you were not able to tell by now, I am constantly traveling and I have seen the inside of many hotel rooms and to me they are all starting to look alike. I am facing yet another trip and I have to find last minute london hotels but this time I am looking for a bed and breakfast quality to them where I can feel like I am staying in a home instead of yet another hotel.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Call me old fashioned but I like to save money when I make a big purchase. Especially with the current market situation being the way it is. I want to save any extra few dollars wherever I can. So when I needed a new car I went to one of the Government Auto Auctions by my house. I was able to pick up a car at twenty five percent off the regular price. I had never really considered government auto auctions until my friend told me about this magical place. The cars are cheap, kept in great quality, and there is never very much competition to try and win a car; car buying nirvana

Keeping the kitchen looking it’s best

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

We had a lot of extras added to our new home.  One of the best moves we made was putting roof skylights throughout the house.   For the first year after we moved in we would try to turn off the overhead lights when leaving the kitchen only to discover it was sunlight spilling in.  Reading the find print on boxes and in recipe books is not a problem in sunlight.  I just hold them up and read away.  The natural lighting makes the food look better too.  There is a difference in the way it looks under sunlight and under fluorescent lighting.  

All about Rehab Alcoholism

Video Game Enthusiasts

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

My husband and I have always loved playing different video games together. It is actually how we met, when we were enjoying a game day at a mutual friend’s house several years back. When we heard about the free Nintendo Wii mobile deals that we could get while selecting a new phone service, we jumped on it. Who wouldn’t want to win a full game system just by signing up for a phone service? We would need the phones no matter what, and the Wii was just a huge bonus. We love to be able to play our games together, and are collecting all of the systems.

Nintendo DS brings profits to Ubisoft

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Ubisoft, the video game developer, has just recently released their financial documents, and according to r4ds, a majority of their profits have been video games for the Nintendo DS platform. If these figures indicate anything, Ubisoft better hope that the Nintendo DS will remain the top portable gaming device out there in the market. Without the Nintendo DS, Ubisoft would take big losses. But it also would make sense if Ubisoft started to focus on other gaming platforms in which they could make money with. Maybe Ubisoft should being developing video games for the Sony Playstation portable platform as there should be a big market in that platform.

Don’t over do it!

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

What is it with all these High-Protein, Low-Carb diets today?Is there anything in this dietary trend?1. Protein is essential for muscle utilization as substantially as being a source of 22 amino acids which are necessary for the production of enzymes and hormones in the body.2. How much accelerator you do need every day?The Institute of Medicine of the National Institute of Science has concluded that daily accelerator intake should be 10-35% of our total calorie intake. Men need more accelerator than women. So, if you are dieting, then forget the lettuce leaf and celery follow diets! Get your daily accelerator intake!3. Protein has a major impact on our level of hunger. If you don’t get enough accelerator in a meal, you will be hungry again soon; even if it contained thousands of calories. Did you realize that the number one reason people failed at dieting was because they got hungry? Makes sense really. If you are hungry, then you are more likely to eat the first snack you come across which is likely to be one of those high calorie junk food items! If you maintain good accelerator intake during the day, you just won’t feel hungry and are less likely to cheat!4. Muscle Mass. By increasing the accelerator levels in your diet, you are also helping to build muscle mass which in turn raises your \”resting metabolous rate\” - that is the number of calories your body burns even when you are sleeping. This helps the Calories Eaten vs. Calories burnt ratio without increasing your exercise! So you can either eat more calories during the period and still maintain your weight, or it can help burn fat so you lose weight faster if you are dieting.5. Good Protein vs Bad Protein? Protein from animal sources (meats, dairy, eggs) typically contains high levels of saturated fats which are both high in calories as substantially as being the \”bad fats\”. Eating white meat (poultry, not pork) and deep sea oily fish are good, but by far the \”best\” are the vegetable proteins. The most plentiful and probably the best is Soy protein.5. A Balanced DietCompletely removing non-protein foods from your diet is not good either; you do need to eat a balanced diet that contains all the other nutrients your body needs. For weight loss (fat burning), you should be eating a daily calorie intake approx 500 calories less than your RMR (Resting Metabolic rate). Have a Colorful meal containing fruit and vegetables from all the \”color groups\” except White. White foods are typically the high energy starchy foods same wheat flour, rice, pasta, corn etc. Make sure you have enough whole grains, and nuts as well. An important note is that simply adding Cocoa powder to a White food - same wheat flour, to make it chocolate blackamoor and flavored does NOT mean it is safe to eat!6. Don’t over do it!There is some evidence amongst athletes that having too much animal based accelerator can cause problems in people pre-disposed to certain medical conditions relating to kidney and liver function. Typical commercial bodybuilding accelerator supplements are 90%+ whey based. Another reason to concentrate on accelerator supplement systems that are primarily soy based!

Old cemeteries

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Old cemeteries are fascinating places. I am from a very new town, not even a 100 years old. When I am traveling leisurely to areas with a longer history than my own, I like to wander the old cemeteries. Usually they are beautiful places and they carry a mysterious air to them. If I find a family plot that is particularly interesting sometimes I look them up on the social security death index. It’s a fascinating website about people in the past. It can be rich with information on anyone that interests you. They can provide over 212,000,000 US citizen records!

iPod touch or nano?

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

There are two new iPod kids on the block. One is an all new iPod nano. The 4th gen Apple iPod nano is all new with its slimmer profile, larger real glass curved screen and built-in accelerometer. It’s the sexiest and most advanced iPod nano yet. Then there is the Apple iPod touch second gen, or the iPod touch 2G as some call it. Sites like iPod Blog are claiming it is the best iPod yet. With its touch screen, iPhone 3G looks and ability to connect to the internet and download apps, it just really may be the best iPod ever. How will Apple ever top these 2 great iPod players?

World events are affecting how the local market is being regulated

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

There are a number of changes occurring in the world market at the moment which is affecting how the local market is being regulated. An example is the recent announcement that mortgage brokers will need to do the equivalent of the RG146/PS146 compliant course to undertake their role in the same way financial advisers have had to be RG146/PS146 compliant.

Financial advisers are also feeling the pressure to increase their qualifications. The Advanced Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) which is a pathway to professional accreditation for instance CFP (Certified Financial Planning) is becoming popular especially with new entrances who are trying to compete with longer serving advisers. The Advanced Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) typically has topics on Estate Planning, Financial Plan Construction, Advanced Investment principles and Taxation.

It can be clearly seen that the trend is towards greater regulation and hence qualification for professionals in the financial services industry. The more mature the industry the greater the requirement and market pressure to get a job. Many in the accounting industry find themselves competing with people with a Masters degree.

You’re not the only person that has cyber-stalked an ex!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

You’re not the only person that has cyber-stalked an ex or their new mate. It’s such a normal thing now because there are so many internet social sites. It’s dumb but you really think that you will come across some information that will get you a shoe in to get your ex back. You try to justify it by saying that it’s public domain for all to see. But you neglect to think about all the times you check their profile each week. Although we hate to admit how pathetic it is, we really think this is an okay and acceptable thing to do.
