Make money by planning your vacation
2008-05-15 04:51:00
Last week it was my first time down at Los Angeles, and it's jaw-dropping. The deserts of California are ablaze in orange, purple, gold and other flourishes of the artist's palette. It doesn't seem natural, but the season's wildflowers have again transformed the desolation into an iridescent garden. It's enough to make even old-timers awe-struck, mesmerized by the poppies, lumpen and mustard. It's just spectacular, isn't it? Look at it up the hill. The "Mojave Green" is considered the among the deadliest of U.S. rattlesnakes. Black widow spiders have dwelled in the garages. And the land is pitted with critter holes for squirrels, kangaroo rats and gophers. Whatever the price of beauty, it's not too high to deter visitors from entering the floral grounds. Planning your next vacation and sightseeing tours ? Looking for ideas on what to do? Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America.

How Government Makes Billions From The Mortgage Crisis
2008-05-11 22:24:00
The mortgage crisis has had a negative impact on everyone, not just homeowners. Elected officials are working hard to pass legislation that is designed to prevent future banking debacles. Unfortunately, history has proven that when legislators over-regulate banks that it tightens the reins on lending. This is done by raising the bar on what it takes to qualify for a mortgage or installment loan. Predictably, it?s the middle class that will feel the pinch more than anyone. Specifically, it?s the middle-class, self employed small business owner that be injured the worst. Most people are aware that you can reduce your taxes by deducting expenses and qualified charitable contributions. What most people don?t realize is that small business owners live and die by those deductions. Tax rates have risen on the self employed more than any other segment in our society. To counter these tax hikes, legislators created more ?loop-holes? write off?s and deductions for small business owners to use...

How people make money on Forever Stamps
2008-05-11 22:12:00
The price of a first-class stamp will increase one penny to 42 cents tomorrow, the U.S. Postal Service said in a reminder on its Web site. Prices for other mailing services, including standard mail, periodicals, package services and special services, will also increase tomorrow, the Postal Service, an independent federal agency, said. The agency first announced the price increase on Feb. 11. Forty-two-cent stamps will be required on first-class mail weighing an ounce (0.02 kilograms) or less, while first-class mail weighing as much as two ounces will increase 1 cent to 59 cents, the Postal Service said. The last first-class mail increase was in May 2007, to 41 cents from 39 cents. Postal Service offers "Forever Stamps." Buy them at today's rate and they're good, well, forever.Buy them this week at 41 cents and next week, when the rate is 42, they're still good -- and will be five or 10 years from now.

Restaurants Offer Mother's Day Specials
2008-05-11 18:15:00
Did you know that 2008 is the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day? Contrary to popular belief, the holiday wasn't invented by Hallmark, but rather by a West Virginia woman who wanted a special day to memorialize moms. (It's interesting to note, however, that founder Ann Jarvis was disavowing the holiday as early as 1917 because it had become so commercialized.)Mother's Day is the most popular day of the year to dine out, according to the National Restaurant Association. The association estimates that six out of 10 Americans will eat their Mother's Day meal at a restaurant. If you plan to head to a restaurant to celebrate Mother's Day, the following list of restaurants provided by the Ohio Restaurant Association may help with your plans.

18.4¢ Gas Tax Holiday Scam
2008-05-10 04:34:00
Dear Senator Clinton and Senator McCain,Please stop insulting the intelligence of the American people with pointless gas tax scams.Soaring gas prices are not something we can solve with a cheap gimmick. Gas prices are high because people around the world are using lots of gas including rising demand in developing nations like China and India. Prices are high because oil is a limited resource and production is limited, because of speculation on Wall Street, and instability in the Middle East. Gimmicks won't change any of that.Eliminating the federal gas tax all summer would only save American consumers about 30 dollars, send more money overseas, reduce our ability to invest in infrastructure, and encourage even more driving and pollution contributing to global climate change. At the end of the summer, gas prices would be as high or higher than before and no problems will be solved.The only way to save Americans from spending huge sums on gas is to reduce the gas Americans use. We ne...

Make Money from Microsoft Socializing With Zune Update

Users of the portable media player can now download friends' nine most recently played songs, as well as nine tunes flagged as favorites. Microsoft tried to narrow the gap against Apple with the release of new technology that enables Zune users to share more of their music libraries with friends. The latest update to the Zune software that synchronizes the player with a person's music library on the PC and Microsoft's online store reflects how Microsoft is hoping to grab market share from the Apple iPod by encouraging Zune users to build online social networks. Microsoft last November launched a music community Web site called Zune Social, where users could browse each other's playlists and share opinions on songs and bands. The upgrade takes the community element a bit further by letting Zune users download each other's nine most recently played songs, as well as nine tunes flagged as favorites.

Why 23-cent pizza and not FREE pizza Thursday (May 8) in the Northeast Ohio
2008-05-06 06:04:00
Papa John's Pizza has issued an apology to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cavalier LeBron James for making T-shirts with LeBron's number and the word "crybaby" under it, T-shirts that appeared at Friday's playoff game with the Washington Wizards in Washington. "They were being stupid," Dan Schuler said. "That shirt was an insult to all of Cleveland." Papa John's is offering 23-cent pizza Thursday (May 8), the day the Cavaliers play the Boston Celtics in Boston, to fans who may have had a "bad taste" left in their mouths after the T-shirt incident. Why 23-cent pizza and not FREE ? Because Lebron James is "The Number 23".As part of the apology to Cavs fans, Papa John's corporate public relations Director Tish Muldoon said Monday that all 44 Papa John's shops in the Northeast Ohio area will provide one large, one-topping pizza for carry-out/pick-up only, for customers. The stores open at 10 a.m. and customers can call or come in to a shop to get the deal. However, no home delivery o...

Using labels as effective Blog to-do list
2008-05-04 06:08:00
If you are savvy on gmail and would like to track your blogging ideas in a to-do list in gmail or even mark some of your mails so that you remember that you are going to blog on it, there is a easy way to do this. I personally use Gmail labels to track all my future posts and blogging ideas so that I dont loose them. Gmail's labels are even better than folders as you can "put" any message in any number of folders. An email for a blog can belong to the "most urgent" messages as well as to a particular project at work, for example. It can carry the "blog follow-up" and "family blog" labels at the same time, and you will find it under both labels. Here is a quick guide on using labels effectively for your blogging experience.Organize and Categorize Messages with Labels in GmailTo create a label in Gmail: 1. Select Settings from the top Gmail navigation bar. 2. Go to Labels. 3. Type the desired name for the label under Create a new label:. 4. Click Create. To open a label: 1. Expand th...
